| Comments |
Meal vouchers issued by Yugoslav republican-level institutes occupy an odd corner of notaphily — technically scrip rather than currency, but functioning as a parallel exchange medium within the self-management economy. The Republički Hidrometeorološki Zavod SR BiH was a state scientific institution responsible for weather observation and forecasting across Socialist Bosnia and Herzegovina, the kind of organization that would have operated its own cafeteria or contracted with a workers' canteen under the Yugoslav system of enterprise-level social services.
The denomination of 15.50 Dinara is characteristic of a price-fixed meal rate, likely set by a workers' council resolution rather than a finance ministry directive. Odd-denomination scrip of this type was rarely printed in large quantities and almost never formally cancelled — most were simply discarded after use, which accounts for their scarcity today.
