Mjesna zajednica — a local community council, the basic administrative unit of Yugoslav self-management socialism — occasionally issued informal commodity vouchers during periods of shortage. This piece from Zadar's Borik settlement denominates in dekagrams of coffee rather than dinars, which places it firmly in the rationing economy rather than anything resembling conventional currency. Coffee was a chronic shortage item in socialist Yugoslavia, periodically subject to distribution controls at the local level.
These hyper-local vouchers were never catalogued systematically and survive largely by accident.
