Summary/Abstract: During the war Yugoslavia was divided into seven monetary areas with as many kinds of currency in circulation, notably: the Serbian dinar, the Croatian kuna, the Hungarian pengo, the Bulgarian lev, the Italian lira, the Albanian franc, and the German mark. Because of this, immediately after the war it was necessary first to withdraw from circulation the occupation moneys and exchange them for a new national currency, and then to build up a new monetary and banking system.
