   • 1991, FBIS Daily Report: East Europe, numbers 192-201, page 37:

     The brokers of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange today for the first time dealt in certificates on dinar funds deposited in the special accounts of the Service of the Social Accounting. The stock exchange brokers who dealt with these certificates demanded 800-900 stotins for a dinar. However, the buyers were willing to pay 750-850 stotins for a dinar.

   • 2005, Robin McKelvie, Jenny McKelvie, Slovenia: The Bradt Travel Guide, Bradt Travel Guides, page 27:

     The tolar is a decimal currency and there are 100 stotins in a tolar, although stotins are no longer produced.

Usage notes

The tolar, and therefore the stotin, was official currency in Slovenia from 8 October 1991 (soon after independence from Yugoslavia) until the introduction of the euro on 1 January 2007.
