| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a breakaway Serb-controlled territory within Croatia, unrecognized internationally and economically dependent on Belgrade throughout its brief existence. Its banknotes were printed by ZIN in Belgrade — making the institutional fiction of a separate "National Bank" essentially administrative. By 1993, hyperinflation had overtaken the entire former Yugoslav space so rapidly that a denomination of 500 million dinara was already inadequate within weeks of printing.
The Krajina itself ceased to exist in August 1995 when Croatian forces retook the territory in Operation Storm, rendering the entire currency series obsolete overnight.
