Republika Srpska's hyperinflation of 1993 moved so fast that denominations became obsolete within weeks of printing. This one-million dinar note was not an extraordinary sum when issued — by late 1993, a loaf of bread could cost multiples of it. The ZIN facility in Belgrade supplied much of the printing capacity for Republika Srpska's currency during this period, a practical arrangement given the wartime conditions in Bosnia.
The series of which this forms part escalated rapidly through the billions before redenomination rendered the entire run worthless.
