| Comments |
Bosnia's 1993 hyperinflation was among the most severe to hit any European territory since the Second World War. The National Bank was issuing notes in denominations that would have been unthinkable two years earlier, and Cetis in Celje — a Slovenian security printer that had supplied Yugoslavia's printing needs for decades — was one of the few regional facilities still accessible to Sarajevo given the wartime disruptions to supply chains and communications.
The 100,000 Dinar denomination reflects a monetary system in freefall. Within months of this note's issue, it was rendered practically worthless by further inflation.
