Yugoslavia -- Although the country officially known as
Serbia and Montenegro
considers itself the successor state of Yugoslavia, the original
Yugoslavia divided up into Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and
Montenegro (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) and Slovenia in the
early 1990's*.
The
Yugoslav national currency unit consisting of 100 paras. Devalued
frequently since 1980. In 1980 exchange rate was YD24.9 per US$1; in
1985, YD270.2 per US$1; and in 1988, YD2,522.6 per US$1. In 1990 new
"heavy" dinar was established, worth 10,000 old dinars; 1990 exchange
rate was fixed at 7 dinars per West German deutsche mark. New rate
January 1991 was YD10.50 per US$1.
Exchange rate:
According to one
website as of: 29/9/2003 (September 29, 2003*)
1,000,000,000.00 Yugoslavian new dinars = 17,271,002.06 US
dollars, So, your 500 Million Note would equal 500 times that amount
-- if Yugoslavia were still a nation.
As things stans -- your currency note
may have some $
value for a collector as a piece of History.
* As is often the case when countries die, there is some disagreement over Yugoslavia's actual date of demise.
