The Macedonian denar (MKD), split into 100 deni, is the official currency of the Republic of Macedonia. The currency was introduced on April 26, 1992 and at that time was equivalent to the 1990 version of Yugoslav dinar. On May 5, 1993 the currency was reformed, with one new denar (MKD) being equal to 100 old denars (MKN). The denominations are split into notes of 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 denars and coins of 1, 2, and 5 denars and 50 deni. The name denar comes from the name of the ancient Roman monetary unit, the denarius. 1 Macedonian Denar 1993 front File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... 1 Macedonian Denar 1993 back File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...
