| Comments |
Yugoslavia's hyperinflation of 1993–94 was among the worst ever recorded, reaching a monthly rate of 313 million percent at its peak in January 1994. This 100 Dinara note was issued during the brief window when the government attempted denomination resets rather than monetary reform — a stopgap that failed almost immediately, leaving many notes unspent within days of issue simply because face value had already become meaningless.
The redenomination that followed in January 1994, when the "super dinar" was pegged to the Deutschmark, rendered the entire preceding series obsolete almost overnight.
