| Comments |
Yugoslavia's hyperinflation of 1992–94 was among the worst in recorded history, eventually reaching a monthly rate exceeding two million percent at its peak. The 5,000,000 dinar note, printed by the National Bank's own in-house facility in Belgrade, was already functionally obsolete within weeks of issue — purchasing power collapsed faster than denominations could be designed, approved, and distributed. Notes of this face value were quickly superseded by redenominations that simply struck zeros, a process repeated multiple times across the series.
Dragiša Andrić handled both design and obverse engraving, an unusual concentration of creative responsibility for a single craftsman on a note that, in practical terms, few people bothered to fold carefully.
