| Comments |
The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a self-proclaimed Serb entity within Croatian territory, unrecognized internationally and economically dependent on Belgrade almost from the start. Its banknotes were printed at ZIN in Belgrade — not a secret, and not incidental. The RSK had no meaningful monetary infrastructure of its own, and the notes circulated in a region simultaneously running Serbian dinars, Yugoslav federal notes, and Croatian kuna, depending on which checkpoint you'd last crossed.
By 1993, Yugoslav hyperinflation was among the worst ever recorded, which explains the denomination. The RSK's currency largely tracked the collapse of the Yugoslav dinar in real time.
