Bosnia and Herzegovina uses the convertible mark, written as BAM. It was introduced in 1998 and is pegged to the euro, keeping it stable. Locals often just call it “marka.” The notes feature writers, scientists, and historic architecture from both major regions of the country. Cash is still the main way to pay, but cards are common in the cities. The currency’s name comes from the old German mark, which it replaced after the war. The convertible mark stands for stability and unity in Bosnia’s modern economy.
