I have had this for a long time and have never been able to figure out what it is or what it was for. Report this Post to the Staff

The actual issue date is buried in the tetralingual block of text: 1980. The script is in the four official languages of old Yugoslavia: Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Macedonian. Ramming the Croatian text through Google Translate - I chose Croatian because it was easiest to type in our Western alphabet - returned this for the front (top pic): Quote: Coupon bonds of the loan fund to lend for faster economic development of underdeveloped republics and SAP (the Socialist Autonomous Province of) Kosovo - 1980. The amount of dinars: 90 By this coupon is due for payment at the end of 1/1/1996. The script on the back says, in the same four languages: Quote: Federation Fund to lend for faster economic development of underdeveloped republics and autonomous provinces, Belgrade. The number "13" featured prominently on both sides is presumably the number of the bond issue. Presumably workers received part of their salary in these bonds. Unfortunately for the bondholder, by 1996, 90 old dinars was worth about a trillionth of a cent. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
