Man…I’m way out of here with my understanding of German currency. I thought the German mark was the currency they introduced after WWI when they started just printing money to pay back the allies.
Then I thought they abandoned it in favor of the euro which came after WWII.
The german currency after WWI was just called Mark, then after the hyperinflation it was replaced by the Reichsmark. After WWII came the Deutsche Mark. After the cold war the Euro.
880 german mark was the price back then… Was released right befor the euro came…

My timeline/understanding is way off
The german currency after WWI was just called Mark, then after the hyperinflation it was replaced by the Reichsmark. After WWII came the Deutsche Mark. After the cold war the Euro.
So there was a two year period where Germany had two currencys? The Deutsche Mark and the Euro from 1999-2001?
And a period basically without official currency, where people used money minted by pension funds interestingly
