1000 Dinara Zenica ironworks food voucher

Željezara Zenica — the Zenica ironworks — was one of Yugoslavia's largest steel producers, a flagship of Titoist industrial policy. During the early 1990s disintegration of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the plant continued operating under extreme duress: supply chains collapsed, the Bosnian dinar was hyperinflating at rates that made weekly wages functionally worthless by the time workers could spend them. These food vouchers were a direct response — issued by the enterprise itself to allow workers to obtain provisions at company-controlled distribution points, bypassing the collapsing currency entirely.

Enterprise scrip of this type from the Bosnian war period survives in small quantities. The ironworks was under intermittent siege conditions during much of 1992–1995.
