The Croatian dinar was the official currency in Croatia from December 23, 1991 (replacing the 1990 version of Yugoslav dinar at par) to May 30, 1994 (replaced by the kuna). The Republic of Serbian Krajina did not use the Croatian dinar, and had their own Krajina dinar. The currency code was HRD.
The Croatian dinar was introduced as a transitional currency following Croatian secession from Yugoslavia. It was not divided into smaller units. No coins were ever minted.
The obverse of all banknotes was the same, with the picture of Ragusan scientist Ruđer Bošković. The denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 100, 500 and 1,000 dinara had the Zagreb cathedral on reverse. The higher denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 dinara, introduced during the period of high inflation in 1992 and 1993, had a slightly different obverse design and the Ivan Meštrović sculpture History of the Croats on reverse.
During its existence the Croatian dinar declined in value by a factor of about 70. It converted to the kuna at the rate of 1000:1.
