It was subdivided into 100 ''stotinov''. The [[ISO 4217|ISO 4217 currency code]] for the Slovenian tolar was ''SIT''. The name ''tolar'' comes from [[Thaler]], and is [[cognate]] with ''[[dollar]]''. As [[Slovenian language|Slovenian]] is one of the few languages with a [[Dual (grammatical number)|grammatical dual]], the correct inflections of the word "tolar" are 2 ''tolarja'' for 2 SIT, but ''tolarji'' for 3 or 4 SIT. For 5 SIT or more, the word ''tolarjev'', genitive plural of ''tolar'', is used. ==History== The tolar was introduced on [[October 8]] [[1991]]. It replaced the 1990 (Convertible) version of [[Yugoslav dinar]] at parity. On [[June 28]] [[2004]] the tolar was pegged against the euro in the [[European Exchange Rate Mechanism|ERM II]] [http://www.ecb.int/press/pr/date/2004/html/pr040627.en.html], the EU's exchange rate mechanism. All recalled banknotes can be exchanged at the central bank for current issue. ===Phase-out=== On [[January 1]], [[2007]], the tolar was supplanted by the [[euro]]. Slovenia issues [[Slovenian euro coins|its own euro coins]], like all other nations in the [[Eurozone]]. The timescale for conversion from the tolar to the euro operated differently from the first wave of [[European Monetary Union|EMU]]. The permanent euro/tolar conversion rate was finalised on [[July 11]], [[2006]] at 239.640 tolar per euro. During the first wave of [[European Monetary Union|EMU]], this period was only a day (the conversion rates were fixed on [[31 December]] [[1998]] and euro non-cash payments were possible from [[1 January]] [[1999]]). Also unlike the first wave of [[European Monetary Union|EMU]] which had a three year transition period (1999-2001), there was no transition period when non-cash payments could be made in both tolar and euro. The tolar was used for all transactions (cash and non-cash) until [[31 December]] [[2006]] and the euro must be used for all payments (cash and non-cash) from [[1 January]] [[2007]]. However, as with the first wave of [[European Monetary Union|EMU]], cash payments with the tolar could continue until [[14 January]] [[2007]], but change had to be given in euro. ==Coins== In 1992, coins were introduced in denominations of 10, 20 and 50 stotinov, 1, 2 and 5 tolarjev. 10 tolarjev coins were added in 2000, followed by 20 and 50 tolarjev in 2003. The obverse designs all show the denomination, with animals native to Slovenia on the reverses. {|class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%" !colspan="12"|The Only Series [http://www.bsi.si/en/banknotes-and-coins.asp?MapaId=204] |- !rowspan="2"| Image !!rowspan="2"| Value !!rowspan="2"| € equiv. !!colspan="4"| Technical parameters !!colspan="3"| Description !!colspan="2"| Date of |- !
