Bosnia and Herzegovina dinar

The dinar was the independent currency of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1998, except for the Republika Srpska during the Bosnian War. No subdivisions were issued.

Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia in March 1992. The first Bosnian dinar was issued in July, 1992, replacing the 1990 version of Yugoslav dinar at the rate of 1 Bosnia dinar = 10 Yugoslav "1990 dinara". And the Bosnian dinar was also at par with the 1992 version of Yugoslav dinar at the point of exchange. The first issues were overstamps on Yugoslav banknotes. After suffering high inflation, a second dinar was introduced in 1994, replacing the first at a rate of 1 "new" dinar = 10,000 "old" dinara.

Both these dinara were restricted in their circulation to the areas under Moslem/Bosniak control (see Bosnian War). The Croat areas used the Croatian dinar and kuna, whilst the Serb areas used the Republika Srpska dinar.

The convertible mark replaced the dinar in 1998. And the convertible mark, as its name suggested, had been convertible to German mark until the latter was replaced by euro.
