1.000 Tolarjev

The 1000 Tolar was Slovenia's highest-denomination note for much of the currency's existence, and by 2000 the design had already been through several printings since the tolar's introduction in 1991 — the year Slovenia severed its monetary ties with the Yugoslav dinar following independence. Giesecke & Devrient in Munich handled production throughout the series, a common arrangement for smaller central banks lacking domestic high-security printing capacity.

Slovenia joined the eurozone on 1 January 2007, making the tolar one of the shortest-lived European currencies of the modern era — just sixteen years from introduction to demonetization.
