The denar (plural: denari, Macedonian: денар and денари, denar and denari, ISO 4217 code: MKD) is the currency of the Republic of Macedonia. It is subdivided into 100 deni. The name denar comes from the name of the ancient Roman monetary unit, the denarius.
History
The first denar was introduced on April 26, 1992, and replaced the 1990 version of the Yugoslav dinar at par. On May 5, 1993, the currency was reformed, with one new denar (MKD) being equal to 100 old denar (MKN).
Coins
No coins were issued for the first denar. In 1993, coins for the second denar were introduced in denominations of 50 deni, 1, 2 and 5 denari.
Banknotes

Souvenir currency
As of 2002, Vevčani, a village in the south-western region of Macedonia and self-styled "independent Republic", was issuing its own money, the ličnik, as a souvenir. The money is clearly labelled as "specimen" and was never intended to be used as official, legal currency.[1]
