I think this article is going to have some copyright problems. Chunks of it appear to have come directly from http://www.nbs.yu/english/coins/index.htm and the banknotes themselves are almost certainly also under copyright. I know from personal experience that banks don't like anyone reproducing their notes unless it's under very strict supervision and with explicit prior permission. I suggest that (a) the article needs to be rewritten and (b) the copyright status of the banknotes needs to be clarified. Has permission been given for them to be reproduced? If not, the images will need to be deleted as copyvios. -- ChrisO 01:47, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure what's involved here (on the images) would be enforcement of copyright, but rather valid concerns about possible counterfeiting attempts. I've seen in other places pictures of currency displayed with the word "specimen" stamped on top to allay these concerns, and I'd be happy to fix these images up with that if it would suffice.

That would certainly help, but my more fundamental concern is that any copying of banknotes is usually banned under anti-counterfeiting as well as copyright laws. Over here, the Bank of England makes you jump through a lot of hoops before you can reproduce any notes or portions of notes, even ones with "specimen" stamped on them - see http://213.225.140.30/banknotes/repoappform.htm . I think it'd be a good idea if Igor explicitly asked the Serbian national bank's permission. I don't know if he's actually in Serbia or not, but if he is then he could potentially have some legal liabilities here. It'd be in his own interests to make sure, not just Wikipedia's. -- ChrisO 02:07, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not hosted in the UK nor Serbia. Their anti-countefeiting and copyright laws do not apply. Cburnett 17:36, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

So you're saying it's hosted in a pirate haven where theft is considered normal.

I have since replaced the images with those from the website of the National Bank of Serbia, which allows for their redistribution[1]. So if someone is interested, all coin and banknote images from [2] could be imported to Wikipedia. Nikola 02:06, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The text is another matter of course. - Hephaestos|§ 01:59, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm not so worried about that, to be honest, it's a simple enough job to rewrite it... -- ChrisO 02:07, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The 100 Dinara image still says "Yugoslavia"

[edit] RSD

Any clue as to when the currency code will finally be updated? —Nightstallion (?) 15:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

ISO is due to publish the new code as soon as National Bank of Serbia and national standardization institute ask for it... However, the way the Institute was performing lately and based upon experience with transition from YUD to CSD, I'd say it'll happen in the next six months. Meelosh 18:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

ISO 4217 still showing "CSD", article saying "RSD". Article will be correct, but has gone too soon. JDAWiseman 20:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

For the record, this list also shows "RSD" now. Meelosh 13:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. —Nightstallion (?) 21:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
