    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.

    • 1871-1923 Mark
    • 1924-1948 Reichsmark
    • 1948-2001 Deutsche Mark
    • 1999+ Euro

        You might be from outside of the Eurozone, and/or very young (I mean this in a respectful way). The European Central Bank et al. decided to have a transitional period in the participating countries.
