| Comments |
During the acute fuel shortages that followed NATO's 1999 bombing campaign, Serbia introduced rationed fuel coupons as a parallel distribution mechanism alongside cash payment. These were not banknotes in any monetary sense — they conveyed a specific physical entitlement, not a denomination — but they circulated through the same bureaucratic channels as controlled currency and were subject to the same forgery risks that prompted security printing features on later issues.
The 2001 date places this coupon in the early Djindjić reform period, when the newly elected DOS government was still untangling the fuel distribution monopolies that had enriched regime-connected intermediaries throughout the 1990s.
