Money

Serbia uses the Serbian dinar and has not adopted the euro. The code is RSD, written din. On the National Bank of Serbia's rate list number 178 of 18 September 2026, one euro bought 117.05 dinars and sold at 117.75, which makes a 1,000 dinar note a little under nine euros. The dollar was 101.90 to 102.51 and the pound 136.20 to 137.02.

A tray of worn banknotes and a heap of mixed coins in low light — Dinar, not euro. The most common wrong assumption about this country

Paying for things

Settlement inside Serbia is in dinars under the Foreign Exchange Act, whatever currency a price is quoted in.
Cards are normal in cities, supermarkets, branded fuel stations and most restaurants. Carry cash for markets, village shops, small guesthouses and rural fuel stations.

Cash across the border

Over 10,000 euros in cash or travellers cheques has to be declared to customs on arrival, certified by an officer, and the form shown when you leave.
If you brought dinars with you, keep the receipt from the bank that sold them.

The exchange rate, toll tariff, fuel price and Camp Dunav campsite price come from named sources with dates. The meal, bread, water and beer figures are different in kind: they are crowd-sourced averages reported by Numbeo contributors in September 2026 rather than published prices.
