By 1987, Yugoslavia's inflation rate was already severe enough that a 20,000 dinar note — unthinkable a decade earlier — barely covered routine purchases. The denomination itself is the story: the country would go on to issue notes of 500,000 and eventually 500 billion dinars before the currency collapsed entirely in the early 1990s.
ZIN printed the entire series domestically, which was standard Yugoslav practice by this period. Designer Dragiša Andrić and engravers Dušan Matić and Nusret Hrvanović were ZIN staff — the note is entirely an in-house production, with no foreign security printer involvement.
