| Comments |
Printed at the Oslobođenje facility in Sarajevo during the siege, this note was produced under active shelling — the printing house itself was repeatedly hit during the conflict, yet continued operating throughout the war. That Oslobođenje ("Liberation") kept running at all became a point of intense national symbolism, though the practical result for the currency was severe: quality control was inconsistent across printings, and paper supply was intermittent.
By 1993, inflation in besieged Sarajevo was accelerating rapidly enough that 10,000 dinara had negligible purchasing power within weeks of issue.
