Inflation peaked in January 1994 at about 313 million percent per month — prices doubled roughly every 34 hours — making it the second-worst hyperinflation ever recorded after Hungary in 1946. The 500 billion dinara note appeared in December 1993 as the largest note in the country’s history, but it was worth only a few dollars within days. On 1 January 1994 a new dinar replaced the old one at a rate of one billion to one, and the note was demonetised.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe obverse shows Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (1833–1904), the beloved Serbian poet, satirist and children’s writer, beside the twelve-zero value and the bank monogram in a swirling ribbon.
