FREE: NIKOLA TESLA Banknote 5,000,000 Dinara

The listing, NIKOLA TESLA Banknote 5,000,000 Dinara has ended.

This is a 5,000,000 Dinara banknote from Yugoslavia issued in 1993. This banknote has been circulated and shows signs of wear. It may have folds, tears, stains or writing on it. As I have a lot of these, I'm using a photo (scan) I took when I first got these bills.

Nikola Tesla is pictured on the front. On the back are pictures of his high frequency transformer (the Tesla coil) and also the hydroelectric dam.

This banknote also features his portrait as a watermark.

Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors who ever lived. His technological achievements transformed America from a nation of isolated communities to a country connected by power grids where information was available upon demand. In the 20th century, it was Tesla's technology that united the United States and eventually the world.

Tesla's life was like a movie. It is the story of a brilliant and charismatic immigrant who rose to the height of celebrity with his amazing talent, and then was tragically undone by his own visionary ideas. The cast of characters includes: Thomas Edison, J. Pierpont Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, George Westinghouse, Mark Twain and many more.

A Serb by origin, his early discovery of the alternating current motor led him to America to seek a venue for his discovery. Here he developed the polyphase AC system of power transmission, which drives every home and industry in the country. He invented the Tesla coil to create high-frequency electricity, and with it neon and florescent lighting, radio transmission, remote control, and hundreds of other devices which are now an essential part of our everyday lives.
