DP Željezara Zenica — the Zenica ironworks, one of Yugoslavia's largest steel producers — issued food vouchers like this one during the early 1990s as the Bosnian war severed normal supply chains and made the Yugoslav dinar nearly worthless overnight. These were not currency in any legal sense but functioned as internal scrip, redeemable at the enterprise's own canteen or cooperative store, keeping the workforce fed when wages paid in dinar had lost most of their purchasing power before workers could spend them.
Zenica itself was under siege conditions intermittently, and the ironworks continued partial operation throughout — making scrip of this kind both economically necessary and administratively urgent.
