History
A Serbian Dinar was first introduced by King Stefan Nemanjić about the year 1214. Then stamped Serbian kings and princes to the end of the medieval Serbia in 1459 the dinar. In addition to the Dinar there was a sub currency, the Perper. The Perper was usually a copper coin, the dinar silver. A special coin was in the Middle Ages to be an important symbol of national independence. With the Ottoman conquest then different currencies were used until the mid- 19th century. The Ottomans operated several mints in Serbia, such as Novo Brdo in Kosovo, Kučajna and in Belgrade.
Today hundredth of a Serbian dinar is named after the last widespread Ottoman silver coin Para ( from the Arabic bara for silver).
In the 19th century were in the Principality of Serbia to the 43 different currencies in circulation ( so about 10 gold currencies, 28 silver and 5 copper currencies). Faced with this multitude of currencies Prince Mihailo Obrenović ordered that a national Serbian currency should be marked. The new coins of copper were named as Para and issued in denominations of 1, 5 and 10 para. The front page carried the portrait of the monarch and the year 1868 as embossing.
1875 finally the silver dinar was (re) introduced. The silver dinar had a value of 100 Para. Minted silver coins in 1875 to 50 Para 1 and 2 dinar dinars.
The first gold coins were issued in 1879 worth 20 dinars.
With the coronation of Prince Milan Obrenović II to the Serbian king, the minting of gold coins in 1882 was re-regulated, and there came the Milandor ( French, "Golden Milan " ), worth 10 dinars or 2 Milandor worth 20 dinars.
The Milandor was later abandoned, and the national currency was purely determined on the dinar and the para. These have been preserved as national currencies in Yugoslavia.
Used until 1999, both Republics of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - Serbia and Montenegro - the Yugoslav dinar. This was in Montenegro in 1999 replaced by the D- Mark, 2002 by the euro. In Kosovo, the D-mark as in Montenegro from 1999 to the end of 2001 and used since 2002, the Euro.
Coins exist in the values 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 dinars each in different metals and with different coat of arms and state names ( Republika Srbija, SR Jugoslavia ). The 50 Para coin is since 1 January 2008, no legal tender. The subdivision in Para has thus become virtually meaningless.
Since January 1, 2010 are also coins of 1, 2 and 5 dinars marked " Yugoslavia " is no longer valid. However, this could still be exchanged by the end of 2012 in the branches of the National Bank of Serbia.
