So far Japan had kept it's Yen and Korea the Won, whereas the North Korean Won was still worth roughly 8 of the South Korean Won. With reconstruction and strong trade in heavy industries, steel and food happening between the internal borders of the Japanese Alliance a unified currency could simplify commercial affairs by a great amount. However, both sides show equal resistance to a change of their currency and suggestions were made about abandoning both currencies and using a new one to symbolise the unity. Although the latter idea received much acceptance within both Korea's and Japan's citizens the resistance was still greater and more importantly neither government wanted to show weakness or even admit defeat. The situation grew tense before news of the Esperanza arrived on Earth.
Within an instance, all eyes were fixed on the sky and political talks shifted towards more international affairs fairly quickly, albeit the Korean and Japanese delegations in the upper most political sphere of the Japanese Alliance still hold fierce debates about a common currency - for now away from the public eye.
