    ically, the ironmakers granted monopoly sales over tools made from scrap iron suffered
    from this decision as well because the old licensed iron shop recaptured the business.

    Won Yuhan found less exact statistics in Korean records. He found one report in 1734
    that annual imports had come to several hundred thousand kun of copper, and that 30.000
    kiln was imported in 1634, and 45.000 kun in 1693. Copper imports were also suspended
    in 1742 because it was costing too much silver to buy. Import of zinc from China was
    also restricted by both the Korean government to reduce silver exports and by the Chi-
    nese government to restrict the outflow of zinc. Won Yuhan, "Sipp'al segi e issoso ui
    hwap'ye ch6ngch'aek," pp. 75-78.

  6. W6n Yuhan has interpreted the reduction of dependence on Japanese copper imports,
    and the production of surplus copper from Korean mines as important indicators of eco-
    nomic devclopmcnt, in "Choson hugi hwap'ye chongch'ack e taehan i Ikoch'al," pp. 93-95.
    For his discussion of copper mining, see idem, "Sipp'al segi e iss6so ui hwap'ye
    ch6ngch'aek," pp. 78-83.

  7. The magistrate of Suan, Kang Chunhum, also proposed a 2-cash coin in 1813.
