| Comments |
During the 1992–1995 siege economy in Bosnia-Herzegovina, many state-owned enterprises issued internal food vouchers when the formal banking system had effectively collapsed and the Yugoslav dinar was in freefall. Željezara Zenica — the massive ironworks complex in central Bosnia — was one of the largest employers in the region, and these vouchers functioned as a parallel wage instrument, redeemable at company-controlled distribution points rather than open markets.
The "DP" prefix indicates Društveno Preduzeće, the socialist-era designation for a socially-owned enterprise, still in use on official documents well into the war years. Zenica itself was under Bosnian government control throughout the conflict, which allowed the ironworks to continue limited operations and maintain at least a nominal internal economy.
Not a banknote in any formal sense — never catalogued by a central monetary authority.
