The dinar (plural: dinara, Serbian: динар, динара) is the currency of Serbia. An earlier currency also called dinar was the currency of the Principality, then the Kingdom, of Serbia between 1868 and 1918. The autonomous province of Kosovo and Metohia used the Deutsche Mark between 1999 and 2002, when it adopted the euro. The current Serbian dinar is a continuation of the last Yugoslav dinar.

The ISO 4217 code for the dinar is RSD (until October 25, 2006, it was CSD), the three-digit identifier is 941 (previously 891), while the local acronym is din or дин. The dinar is subdivided into 100 para (пара).
History
Medieval dinar

The first mention of a "Serbian dinar" dates back to the reign of Stefan the First-Crowned of the Nemanji? dynasty in 1214. Up to the fall of Despot Stefan Lazarevi? in 1459, most Serbian rulers minted silver dinar coins. The coin was an important symbol of Serbian statehood in the Middle Ages.

First modern dinar, 1868-1918

Following the Ottoman conquest, different foreign currencies were used up to the mid 19th century. The Ottomans operated coin mints in Novo Brdo, Kucajna and Belgrade. The subdivision of the dinar, the para, is named after the Turkish silver coins of the same name (from the Arabic bara, silver).

The 19th century rules of Kara?or?e and Prince Mihailo Obrenovi? III also saw circulation of many different currencies from all over Europe, 43 different kinds: 10 gold, 28 silver and 5 copper ones. Following the liberation from Turkish domination, steps were taken towards the establishment of an independent monetary system.

Faced with multiple currencies in circulation, Prince Mihailo Obrenovi? ordered that a Serbian national currency be minted. The first bronze coins were introduced in 1868, followed by silver in 1875 and gold in 1879. The first banknotes were issued in 1876. Between 1873 and 1894, the dinar was pegged at par to the French franc. The Kingdom of Serbia also joined the Latin Monetary Union.

In 1918, the Serbian dinar was replaced at par by the Yugoslav dinar, with the Yugoslav krone also circulating until 1920.

Second modern dinar, 1941-1944

In 1941, the Yugoslav dinar was replaced, at par, by a second Serbian dinar for use in the German occupied state. The dinar was pegged to the German Reichsmark at a rate of 250 dinara = 1 Reichsmark. This dinar circulated until 1944, when the Yugoslav dinar was reintroduced by the Communist Partisans, replacing the Serbian dinar at a rate of 1 Yugoslav dinar = 20 Serbian dinara.

Third modern dinar, 2003-

The Serbian dinar replaced the Yugoslav dinar at par in 2003, when Yugoslavia was transformed into the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Montenegro and Kosovo had already adopted the euro.
