Dong is a 100 won coin minted in 1990. Somebody dropped the coin by mistake, leaving Dong stuck in a gap between steps for months until a street cleaner finds him. "Dong's journey" as a coin rebegins. A long time ago, Dong was enough to buy 10 packets of instant noodles, but now, 100 won can't even buy a single ice cream. During his journey, Dong witnesses all kinds of emotions that people experience because of money. Some people value 100 won coins, while others disrespect them. Also, there were those who wasted money to enjoy extravagances, failing to understand the true value of money. Through this journey, Dong gets to learn the most sincere and happiest way to spend money.

Yang Mijin
When darkness falls at night, and I close my eyes in bed, the fantasy begins to unfold. I would fly on a broomstick or hold a boy's hand and cross a stream together on stepping-stones. I've grown up now, but I still like to close my eyes and dream. Perhaps, because of this, I wish to write books that can dream and grow together with children.
