Yugoslavia Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Yugoslavia is fascinating and reflects the country's political and economic changes throughout the 20th century. From its formation as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia until its dissolution in the 1990s, the country underwent several transformations in its monetary system and banknote design.

Old Yugoslav banknotes

The first Yugoslav banknotes were issued in 1919, after the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. During the communist era, the banknotes featured socialist motifs and portraits of workers. The Yugoslav dinar was the official currency until 1992, experiencing various denominations due to hyperinflation in the 1980s and early 1990s. Some notable banknotes include the 500 billion dinar issued in 1993, a symbol of the country's economic crisis.

Current banknotes in the successor states

After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, each independent republic adopted its own currency. Serbia retains the dinar, while Croatia uses the kuna (although it joined the euro in 2023). Slovenia adopted the euro in 2007, followed by Montenegro, which has been using it de facto since 2002. North Macedonia uses the denar, and Bosnia and Herzegovina the convertible mark. These modern banknotes reflect the national and cultural identity of each country, featuring historical figures, monuments and local landscapes.
