| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was an unrecognized breakaway state carved from Croatian territory during the Yugoslav wars, and its currency existed in roughly the same legal limbo. By 1994, Serbian Krajina's monetary arrangement was effectively subordinate to Belgrade — the notes were printed at ZIN and the dinar was pegged in lockstep with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's own currency, which was then in freefall from one of the worst hyperinflationary episodes ever recorded.
The RSK ceased to exist in August 1995 when Croatian forces overran the territory in Operation Storm. Whatever currency stock remained in circulation or in reserve was abandoned within days.
