| Comments |
Macedonia declared independence from Yugoslavia in September 1991, but the transition from Yugoslav dinar to a functioning Macedonian monetary system took time — and fuel distribution couldn't wait. These coupons were part of a rationing apparatus put in place during the acute supply disruptions of 1992, when the Yugoslav federation's collapse severed established trade and distribution networks. Paper coupon systems of this kind were administered outside the banking infrastructure entirely.
Diesel coupons from this period rarely survived intact; they were redeemed and destroyed in the ordinary course of use.
