<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2304407, member: 69760&quot;]Foremost, I&#039;d like to mention why I&#039;m interested in this note, besides the massive denomination size. The Republika Srpska experienced the fourth highest hyperinflation of all time, when prices doubled every 1.4 days, roughly equivalent and at the same time as the third highest hyperinflation episode experienced by Yugoslavia in 1994 (table below). I have examples of all 6 - but I may have the &quot;wrong&quot; Srpska note (I recently purchased the second one above). Confusion occurs when <i>two different</i> Srpska note designs exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]463288[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the Wikipedia excerpt below, the &quot;1993 Dinar&quot; is the first one pictured above, given the portrait of Petar Kocic. I don&#039;t believe that the second note above is the &quot;1992 Dinar&quot;, given that the &quot;Arms of the Republic&quot; seal is not shown, and that the note clearly shows the 1993 date on the bottom right. Yet, it clearly says &quot;Srpska&quot; on the reverse of <u>both</u> notes. Is one from Bosnia (but then why would Srpska and not Bosnia be written on the note)? Are both of them Srpska examples, and the Republika Srpska simply decided to print two different designs before deciding on which one to use?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">There were two distinct currencies issued by the National Bank of the Republika Srpska. The first was introduced in 1992 in conjunction with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_dinar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_dinar" rel="nofollow">Yugoslav dinar</a> of that year, to which it was equal. The second was introduced on October 1, 1993, replacing the first at a rate of one million to one and matching the revaluation of the Yugoslav currency. Following this, the Republika Srpska used <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_dinar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_dinar" rel="nofollow">Yugoslav currency</a> (first the &quot;1994 dinar&quot; and then &quot;novi dinar&quot;) until 1998, when the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_convertible_mark" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_convertible_mark" rel="nofollow">convertible mark</a> was introduced.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">The two currencies were only issued in note form, with the first issued in denominations of 10 dinars up to 10 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000000000_(number)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000000000_(number)" rel="nofollow">billion</a> dinars and the second in denominations of 5000 dinars up to 50 billion dinars. The designs of the banknotes varied very little within the issues of the two currencies. The &quot;1992 dinar&quot; notes featured the arms of the republic on both sides, whilst the &quot;1993 dinar&quot; notes had a portrait of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petar_Ko%C4%8Di%C4%87" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petar_Ko%C4%8Di%C4%87" rel="nofollow">Petar Kočić</a> on the obverse. Some of the issues in 1993 were overprints on 1992 banknotes.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republika_Srpska_dinar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republika_Srpska_dinar" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republika_Srpska_dinar</a></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
