The single monetary unit used in internal and, in part, in external settlements of Georgia is the Georgian lari. The name of the currency comes from the Georgian word, which means "property" or "rese...rve" in Russian. Previously, before the collapse of the USSR and the separation of Georgia, the banknotes of the USSR, Soviet rubles, were used in calculations, then they were temporarily replaced by Georgian coupons. However, the use of coupons in Georgia lasted only 4 years - in 1995, by a decree of President Shevardnadze, the lari was introduced into circulation. The design of banknotes was entrusted by the Central Bank to European designers, in particular, French and Slovak craftsmen made their contribution. The currency of Georgia contains images of cultural figures and national heroes, and on the reverse, the reverse side of banknotes and coins, there are images of architectural and art monuments belonging to Georgia.

History reference:
The Serbian dinar is the national currency of Serbia. After the conquest of the Serbs by the Ottomans and until the middle of the 19th century, various monetary units circulated in parallel on its te...rritory. There were Ottoman mints in Novo Brdo, Kuchayn and Belgrade. The smallest coin was "para", whose name the Ottomans borrowed from the Persian word - coin. During World War II, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. The new Serbian dinar replaced the Yugoslav dinar in 1941, pegged to the German Reichsmark at a rate of 250 dinars to one Reichsmark. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1944, the Yugoslav dinar returned instead of the Serbian dinar at the rate of one Yugoslav dinar to 20 Serbian dinars.
