The convertible mark (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian Latin: konvertibilna marka, Serbian Cyrillic: конвертибилна марка), (ISO 4217:BAM) is the currency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is divided into 100 feninga (Bosnian and Croatian, фенинга in Serbian), from the German Pfennig.
It was established by the 1995 Dayton Agreement and replaced the Bosnia and Herzegovina dinar, Croatian kuna and Republika Srpska dinar as the currency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1998. The "marka" in the name refers to the Deutsche Mark, the currency to which it was pegged at par. Since the replacement of the Deutsche Mark by the euro in 2002, the marka effectively uses the same fixed exchange rate to euro that the Deutsche Mark has (that is, €1 = 1.95583 convertible marka).
All banknotes are interchangeable within the whole country, but the designs of the banknotes issued by the two entities (the Federation and the Republika Srpska) differ in the symbols and the person depicted on the back. An exception is the 200 KM banknote, which has the same design throughout the country.
