Yugoslavia's 1993 hyperinflation was among the worst ever recorded — by the time this 100,000,000 dinar note was printed, the monthly inflation rate had exceeded 300 million percent. ZIN in Belgrade was running presses around the clock, and denominations were obsolete almost as soon as they were issued. This note was part of a rapid succession of redenominations that would eventually culminate in the January 1994 "novi dinar," which lopped ten billion off the face value overnight.
The engraving credits — Hrvanović on the obverse, Medecijan and Obradović on the reverse — reflect ZIN's in-house production capacity, unusual for a printer of this size managing such extreme output pressure simultaneously.
