Product Description
The 1990s in Serbia were marked by runaway hyperinflation, shortages of basic food and fuel, long queues in front of banks, and widespread poverty. This photograph shows a man searching through discarded items on a city sidewalk, where devalued banknotes lie scattered among trash bags. The scene reflects the collapse of monetary value, when paper money lost its meaning faster than it could be spent. What had once represented savings and security became street litter, while survival depended on improvisation and endurance.
