Comments

Yugoslavia's hyperinflation of 1992–94 was among the most severe ever recorded, with monthly rates briefly exceeding 300 million percent in January 1994. This 10 Dinara note belongs to the currency series that was being rendered worthless almost as it left ZIN's presses — denominations climbed through dozens of reissues in under two years, each one obsolete within weeks. The eventual stabilization in February 1994 introduced the "super dinar," pegged to the Deutschmark, which effectively retired the entire inflated series at once.

Three engravers worked this single note, an unusually divided credit for a low-denomination piece from a domestic printer.
