This handsome-looking banknote used to hold the title for the largest number of zeros ever printed on currency, until shown up by Zimbabwe’s more recent trillion-dollar issues.

Known as the 1993 October dinar, this note — and all the smaller denominations thereof — circulated for only three or four months before being replaced by the 1994 dinar, at a million-to-one revaluation.

Released in mid-1992 at a ten-to-one revaluation against the older “convertible dinar”, this was the first Yugoslav issue no longer explicitly “socialist” on its face. This “reformed dinar” issue was subject to massive central bank inflation before it was replaced just 15 months later with the October dinar (above), which suffered an even more rapid devaluation.

Get yours today in the shop, and stay tuned for more interesting hyperinflation currency issues to come!
