Shouldn't this be the Serb, Croat and Sloven krone (unless we're going to backdate the name Yugoslavia by eleven years)?

- I don't feel strongly either way. But Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes redirects to Kingdom of Yugoslavia. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

- It was seeing precisely that redirect that stopped me immediately moving the page.

[edit] Help Needed
It is unclear when the krone circulated until. Any help in clearing this up would be gratefully received.

- I am completely new to Wikipedia. I can supply detailed dates. But I am very confused. I understand that we should not refer to "crown" but should use the Serbo-Croatian form. But the Serbo-Croatian word is "kruna" or "круна". "Krone" is German. And to say it was preceded by the Austro-Hungarian krone is inaccurate and misleading. The SCS Kingdom did not exist as such before 1 December 1918, and the name "Jugoslavija" was not used until 1929!?
- The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes had a parallel (dual) currency system based on the Serbian dinar and the Austro-Hungarian crown, with an initial crossrate of 2 crowns to the dinar (based on official values in Swiss gold francs). The Serbian dinar was declared the national currency and it was made the legal tender southeast of the Sava and Drina rivers (i.e., in Sebia, including Macedonia, and in Montenegro, were the perper was also acceptable). Both the dinar and the crown were made legal tender northwest of the two rivers (i.e., in Bosnia, Croatia, Dalmatia, and Slovenia).
