| Comments |
Privredna Banka Sarajevo issued bearer cheques denominated in dinara during the early 1990s as the Yugoslav federal banking system collapsed and the National Bank of Yugoslavia lost its grip on money supply. These instruments were emergency stopgaps — technically cheques rather than banknotes, a legal distinction that allowed regional banks to inject liquidity without formal central bank authorization.
Sarajevo's geographic isolation during the 1992–1995 siege made normal currency resupply impossible, and locally issued instruments like this filled the gap left by an unreachable Belgrade.
