The dinar (Cyrillic script: динар) was the currency of the three Yugoslav states: the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (formerly the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes), the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1918 and 2003. The dinar was subdivided into 100 para (Cyrillic script: пара).

There were eight distinct dinari, with hyperinflation in the early 1990s causing five revaluations between 1990 and 1994. Each of the eight has been given a distinguishing name and a separate ISO 4217 code.

[edit] 1918-1941; Serbian dinar, YUS

Until 1918, the dinar was the currency of Serbia. It then became the currency of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, circulating alongside the krone in Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with 1 dinar = 4 kronen. The first coins and banknotes bearing the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes were issued in 1920, until which time Serbian coins and banknotes circulated. In 1929, the name of the country changed to Yugoslavia and this was reflected on the currency.

In 1931, an exchange rate of 56.4 dinara = 1 U.S. Dollar was set, which changed to 44 dinara in 1933. In 1937, a tourist exchange rate of 250 dinara = 1 British pound was established.

[edit] World War II (1941-1945)

In 1941, Yugoslavia was invaded and split up, with the dinar remaining currency in Nedić's Serbia as Serbian dinar). The kuna was introduced in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Independent State of Croatia) at par with the dinar, whilst the Bulgarian lev, Italian lira and German Reichsmark circulated in those part of Yugoslavia occupied by these countries.

[edit] 1944-1965; Federation dinar, YUF

In 1944, as Yugoslavia began to be reconstituted, the Yugoslav dinar replaced the Serbian dinar, Independent State of Croatia kuna and other occupation currencies, with the rates of exchanged being 1 Yugoslav dinar = 20 Serbian dinara = 40 kuna. In May 1945, a peg of 50 dinara = 1 U.S. dollar was established but was not maintained.

[edit] 1966-1989; Hard dinar, YUD

On January 1, 1966, the first of five revaluations took place, at a ratio of 100 to 1. This currency was never very stable, suffering from an inflation rate of 15 to 25 percent per year [1]. In the late 1980s the inflation rate accelerated, causing the currency to be revalued at the beginning of 1990.

[edit] 1990-1992; Convertible dinar, YUN

Coat of arms of the SFR Yugoslavia

The second revaluation took place in January 1, 1990, at a ratio of 10,000 to 1. During this period, the constituent republics began to leave the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Four of the six republics declared independence and issued their own currencies shortly after. This was the last dinar that bore the coat of arms and the name of the "Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" in multiple languages.

Country	Currency	Date Adopted	Value
Bosnia and Herzegovina	Dinar	1992-07	1 dinar of 1992
Croatia	Dinar	1991-12-23	1 dinar of 1990
Macedonia	Denar	1992-04-26	1 dinar of 1990
Slovenia	Tolar	1991-10-08	1 dinar of 1990

Serbian enclaves in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina also issued currencies in dinar, equivalent to and revalued together with the Yugoslav dinar. These were the Krajina dinar and the Republika Srpska dinar.

[edit] 1992-1993; Reformed dinar, YUR

The third revaluation took place on July 1, 1992, at a ratio of 10 to 1. Hyperinflation began to occur during this currency's period of circulation. This dinar was issued in the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which consisted of the remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro. (This federation split in 2006 and Montenegro currently uses the Euro as its currency, though it does not mint it.)

[edit] 1993; October dinar, YUO

The fourth revaluation took place on October 1, 1993, at a ratio of 1 million to 1. This revaluation did not interrupt the hyperinflation and the currency lasted a mere three months.

[edit] 1994; January dinar, YUG

The fifth revaluation took place on January 1, 1994, at a ratio of 1 billion (10⁹) to 1. This currency suffered from the worst hyperinflation of all the dinar and was replaced within one month.

[edit] 1994-2003; Novi dinar, YUM

On January 24, 1994, the novi dinar (nominative plural: novi dinari, Cyrillic script: нови динар, нови динари; genitive plural: novih dinara, Cyrillic: нових динара; novi means new) was introduced. This was not a revaluation of the dinar. Instead, the novi dinar was pegged at par to the Deutsche Mark. On the day of the introduction of the novi dinar, the exchange rate of the previous dinar to the Deutsche Mark, and, hence, to the novi dinar, was approximately 1 DM = 13 million dinara. Despite not being pegged to the newest currency, the previous dinar did not fall further in value, remaining at about 12 million "1994" dinar to the novi dinar.[2] The overall impact of the hyperinflation was that 1 novi dinar equalled approximately 1.2 × 10²⁷ third (hard) dinara from before 1990, 1.2 × 10²⁹ Federation dinara, or 2.4  × 10³⁰ pre-war dinara. The "novi" portion of the name was abandoned in 2000.

[edit] Replacement of the dinar

On November 6, 1999, Montenegro decided that, besides the Yugoslav dinar, the Deutsche Mark would also be an official currency. On November 13, 2000, the dinar was dropped and the Deutsche Mark (by that time defined in terms of the euro) became the only currency. In 2003, the end of Yugoslavia led to the dinar, by then only used in Serbia, being replaced at par by the Serbian dinar.

[edit] Coins

[edit] 1918 dinar

In 1920, the first coins were minted in the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. They were zinc 5 and 10 para and nickel-bronze 25 para. These were followed, in 1925, by nickel-bronze 50 para, 1 and 2 dinara. From 1931, coins were minted in the name of Yugoslavia, starting with silver 10 and 20 dinara, followed by silver 50 dinara in 1932. In 1938, aluminium-bronze 50 para, 1 and 2 dinara, nickel 10 dinara and reduced size, silver 20 and 50 dinara were introduced. These were the last coins issued before the Second World War.

[edit] 1944 dinar

In 1945, zinc 50 para, 1, 2 and 5 dinara were introduced, followed in 1953 by aluminium coins for the same denominations. In 1955, aluminium-bronze 10, 20 and 50 dinara were added.

[edit] 1966 dinar

In 1966, brass 5, 10, 20 and 50 para, and cupro-nickel 1 dinar coins (dated 1965) were introduced. In 1971, nickel-brass 2 and 5 dinara were introduced, followed by cupro-nickel 10 dinara in 1976. Production of 5, 10 and 20 para coins ceased in 1981, with bronze 25 and 50 para being introduced the following year. Nickel-brass 20, 50 and 100 dinara were introduced in 1985 and production of all coins less than 10 dinara stopped the next year. In 1988, brass 10, 20, 50 and 100 dinara were introduced. These four coins were issued until 1989.

[edit] 1990 dinar

In 1990, coins for 10, 20 and 50 para, 1, 2 and 5 dinara were introduced. The highest two denominations were minted in small numbers in 1992, the other denominations having ceased production in 1991.

[edit] 1992 dinar

Coins were issued for this currency in 1992 in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 50 dinara. The 1, 2 and 5 dinara were bronze, whilst the 10 and 50 dinara were nickel-brass. The coins bore the state title "Yugoslavia" (Jugoslavija in the Latin alphabet and Југославија in Cyrillic) in its simplest form without any modifier.

[edit] 1993 dinar

Coins were issued in 1993 in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 50 dinara struck in nickel-brass, and 100 dinara struck in brass. Brass 500 dinara coins were also struck but not issued, most being remelted. The design of these coins was similar to that of coins of the fifth dinar, except that the sixth dinar coins bore the state title "FR Yugoslavia" (SR Jugoslavija in Latin and СР Југославија in Cyrillic).

[edit] 1994 dinar

Only one coin type was struck for this short-lived currency, a brass 1 dinar.

[edit] Novi dinar

In 1994, brass 1 and 5 para, and nickel-brass 10 and 50 para, and 1 novi dinar were introduced. In 2000 the word novi was dropped from the currency and new, brass 50 para, 1, 2 and 5 dinara coins were introduced.

[edit] Banknotes

In 1985, a new series of notes began with the introduction of 5000 dinara notes featuring a portrait of the late President Tito. As the inflation worsened, banknotes for 20,000 dinara were introduced in 1987, followed by 50,000 dinara in 1988 and 100,000, 500,000, 1 million and 2 million dinara in 1989. The 500,000 and 2 million dinara notes were unusual in that they did not feature a portrait but an image of the monument on Kozara.

Again, designs modified from the previous series of notes were used but this time not in order that notes of equal value had similar designs. In 1993, higher value notes were introduced for 100,000, 500,000, 1 million, 5 million, 10 million, 50 million, 100 million, 500 million, 1 milliard (billion) and 10 milliard dinara.

In January, 1994, notes were issued for 10, 100, 1000, 5000, 50,000, 500,000 and 10 million dinara. They circulated for just a few weeks before the currency was abandoned in favour of the novi dinar. 10 and 100 dinar notes were characteristic for lack of serial number on them.

[edit] Novi dinar

On January 24, 1994, notes were introduced for 1, 5 and 10 novih (new) dinara. A second series of notes was introduced later in the year for 5, 10 and 20 novih dinara, with 50 and 100 novih dinara notes added in 1996.

In 2000, new notes without the word "novih" were issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50 and 100 dinara. 200 and 1000 dinara notes were introduced in 2001, followed by 5000 dinara in 2002.

The current Serbian dinar banknotes use almost the same design as the 2000–2002 Yugoslav notes. The main difference is that the words Narodna Banka Jugoslavije (National Bank of Yugoslavia) are changed to Narodna Banka Srbije (National Bank of Serbia) and the coat of arms of Serbia and Montenegro is changed to Serbian coat of arms.
