| Comments |
Croatia's 1992 hyperinflation was severe enough that notes of this face value became effectively worthless within months of issue. The dinar series was itself a transitional currency — introduced in 1991 to replace the Yugoslav dinar at par, it was already being undermined by war, a collapsing economy, and supply chain disruptions that made domestic printing impractical.
Tumba Bruk, the Swedish security printing house with continuous operation stretching back to the mid-18th century, handled production for several newly independent states in the early 1990s. The kuna replaced the dinar entirely in May 1994, rendering the whole series obsolete in under three years.
