There are 6 different types of coins that are used (some not so widely) in Korea. These coins are valued from 1 won to 500 won.
1 won: Almost non-existent, but is an official coin nonetheless. At an exchange rate of 1000 won to 1 dollar, these are 0.1 cent each.
5 won: Almost same as 1 won, almost non-existent. These are 0.5 cent each
10 won: Brown, bronze shaped coins. They are slightly larger than 1 won coin. They are more prevalent than 1 won in usage, but it's still hardly used. Again, following the previous exchange rate these are 1 cent each.
50 won: slightly smaller coins than 10 won, and these are silver in color. These are valued the same as a nickel in the US.
100 won: Probably the most used coin in Korea. Valued the same as a dime in the US.
500 won: These are the largest of the five coins, and are valued at 50 cents.

Why do you use silver to make coins?
Silver is a precious metal (like gold) and is recognized as having intrinsic value (that is, value as a metal rather than just value as an object) because of its rarity, beauty, and other physical properties, so silver coinage was a convenient way of standardizing that intrisic value (so that each person receiving that silver didn't have to weigh the coin and test its purity in order to determine the value received). Substantially all circulating coinage today is fiat money made from base metals - it has value because the government that issued it says it does, and not because the metal from which it is composed has value. That is, it does not have intrinsic value (at least, not as much intrinsic value as the face value of the coin). The reason for moving from silver to base-metal coinage has to do with both the rarity of silver (the demand for coinage exceeded the availability of the silver from which to produce it) and because of monetary policy (the desire to expand the money supply), the discussion of which is outside the question raised here.
