The dinar was the currency of Croatia between 23 December 1991 and 30 May 1994. The ISO 4217 code was HRD.

History[]

The Croatian dinar replaced the 1990 version of the Yugoslav dinar at par. It was a transitional currency introduced following Croatia's declaration of independence. During its existence, the dinar declined in value by a factor of about 70. The dinar was replaced by the kuna at a rate of 1 kuna = 1000 dinara. The currency was not used in the occupied territories comprising the so-called Serbian Krajina.
