North Macedonia's highest-denomination note in the current polymer-era series that never went polymer — the 1000 Denari remains on cotton stock while several lower denominations migrated to polymer substrate, an unusual reversal of the typical modernization sequence where high-value notes lead. Thomas De La Rue has printed Macedonian currency since the denar's introduction in 1992, one of the longer unbroken client relationships the firm holds in the post-Yugoslav successor states.
The denar itself was introduced at 1:1 against the denar-transitional, which had replaced the Yugoslav dinar at a rate that effectively wiped out hyperinflationary savings. The 1000 Denari denomination carries the weight of that history quietly.
