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).

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]
