à§Ô¹ ngeun
is the word for money; it literally means silver and is used for that word as well. A more elaborate way to say it is à§Ô¹·Í§, which means 'silver and gold.'
Pronunciation rant:
This word is variously written in Roman letters as 'ngeun,' ngern,' or even 'ngoen.' The 'ng' is like the middle 'ng' in singing. The vowel is like the 'u' in bun or pun. And the 'n' is just an ordinary 'n.' The word for gold is sort of like the English word 'tong' with a softish 't' and a southern-style (US) 'o' ... really more like 'tawng.'
