- Yugoslavia currencies during World War II
Hello,
I'm into collecting Yugoslavia countries now and would like to nkow more about their currencies during WWII German occupation. Looking for information on the currencies of occupied Yugoslavia, mainly the rates at which the Serbian dinar and Croatian kuna replaced the Yugoslav dinar, and the exchange rates to the German Reichsmark.
Thanks, Tallulah.
