History
editThe Reichsmark was introduced in 1924 as a permanent replacement for thePapiermark.This was necessary due to the1920s German inflationwhich had reached its peak in 1923. The exchange rate between the oldPapiermarkand the Reichsmark was 1 ℛ︁ℳ︁ = 1012 ℳ︁(one trillion in American English and French, one billion in German and other European languages and British English of the time; seelong and short scale). To stabilize the economy and to smooth the transition, thePapiermarkwas not directly replaced by the Reichsmark, but by theRentenmark,an interim currency backed by theDeutsche Rentenbank,owning industrial and agricultural real estate assets. The Reichsmark was put on thegold standardat the rate previously used by theGerman mark,with theU.S. dollarworth 4.20 ℛ︁ℳ︁.[2]
Expansion outside the Reichsmark
editDuring this period a number ofshell companieswere created and authorized to issue bonds outside the Reichsmark in order to finance state projects.[3]Nominally exchangeable at a 1:1 rate for Reichsmarks but then discounted by the Reichsbank this created secret monetary expansion without formally renouncing the gold standard of the Reichsmark.[4]
World War II
editWith theannexationof theFederal State of Austriaby Germany in 1938, the Reichsmark replaced theAustrian schilling.During theSecond World War,Germany established fixed exchange rates between the Reichsmark and the currencies of theoccupiedandallied countries,often set so as to give economic benefits to German soldiers and civilian contractors, who were paid their wages in local currency. The rates were as follows:

Post-war
editAfter theSecond World War,the Reichsmark continued to circulate in Germany, but with new banknotes (Allied Occupation Marks) printed in the US and in theSoviet Zone,as well as with coins (withoutswastikas). Inflation in the final months of the war had reduced the value of the Reichsmark from 2.50 ℛ︁ℳ︁ = $1US to 10 ℛ︁ℳ︁ = $1US and a barter economy had emerged due to the rapid depreciation. The Reichsmark was replaced by theDeutsche Markat a rate of 10:1 (1:1 for cash and current accounts) in June 1948 in theTrizone[5]and later in the same year by theEast German markin the Soviet Occupation Zone (colloquially also "Ostmark", since 1968 officially "Mark der DDR"). The 1948 currency reform under the direction ofLudwig Erhardis considered the beginning of theWest German economic recovery;however, the secret plan to introduce the Deutsche Mark in the Trizone was formulated by economistEdward A. Tenenbaumof theUS military government,and was executed abruptly on 21 June 1948. Three days later, the new currency also replaced the Reichsmark in thethree Western sectors of Berlin.In November 1945, the Reichsmark was superseded by the Second Austrianschillingin Austria. In 1947, theSaar mark,later replaced with theSaar franc,was introduced in theSaar.[6]

4Reichspfennig
edit4 Reichspfennigcoins were issued in 1932 as part of a failed attempt by theReichskanzlerHeinrich Brüningto reduce prices through use of 4 ℛ︁₰ pieces instead of 5 ℛ︁₰ coins. Known as theBrüningtalerorArmer Heinrich('poor Heinrich'), they were demonetized the following year. SeeBrüningtaler(in German).The quality of the Reichsmark coins decreased more and more towards the end of World War II and misprints happened more frequently.[8][9]Since the 4 ℛ︁₰ coin was only slightly larger than the 1 ℳ︁ coin and the imperial eagle looked similar, an attempt was made to pass it off as a 1-reichsmark coin by silvering the 4 ℛ︁₰ coin.[10]

The zinc10Reichspfennigcoin was minted byNazi Germanybetween 1940 and 1945 during World War II, replacing the aluminium-bronze version, which had a distinct golden colour. It is worth1⁄10or.10 of a Reichsmark. Made entirely ofzinc,the 10 ℛ︁₰ is an emergency issue type, similar to the zinc 1 ℛ︁₰ and5 ℛ︁₰,and thealuminium50 ℛ︁₰coins from the same period.
Mint marks
editNazi Germany had a number of mints. Each mint location had its own identifiable letter. It is therefore possible to identify exactly which mint produced what coin by noting the mint mark on the coin. Not all mints were authorized to produce coins every year. The mints were also only authorized to produce a set number of coins with some mints allocated a greater production than others. Some of the coins with particular mint marks are therefore scarcer than others. With the silver 2 ℛ︁ℳ︁ and 5 ℛ︁ℳ︁ coins, the mint mark is found under the date on the left side of the coin. On the smaller denomination Reichspfennig coins, the mint mark is found on the bottom center of the coin.[11]

Banknotes
editThe first Reichsmark banknotes were introduced by theReichsbankand state banks such as those ofBavaria,SaxonyandBaden.The first Reichsbank issue of 1924 came in denominations of 10 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 20 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 50 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 100 ℛ︁ℳ︁, and 1,000 ℛ︁ℳ︁. This was followed by a second issue in the same denominations, dated between 1929 and 1936. The second issue commemorated persons who made contributions to German agriculture, industry, economy, science, and architecture: 10 ℛ︁ℳ︁ issued in 1929 commemorated agronomistAlbrecht Thaer;20 ℛ︁ℳ︁ issued in 1929 commemorated engineer, inventor, and industrialistWerner von Siemens;50 ℛ︁ℳ︁ issued in 1933 commemoratedPrussianpolitician and bankerDavid Hansemann;100 ℛ︁ℳ︁ issued in 1935 commemorated chemist and "father of fertilizer industry"Justus von Liebig;1,000 ℛ︁ℳ︁ issued in 1936 commemoratedPrussianarchitectKarl Friedrich Schinkel.
A newer version of 20 ℛ︁ℳ︁ note was introduced in 1939, using a design taken from an unissued AustrianS100 banknote type. 5 ℛ︁ℳ︁ notes were issued in 1942. Throughout this period, the Rentenbank also issued banknotes denominated in Rentenmark, mostly in RM 1 and RM 2 denominations.
In preparation for the occupation of Germany, the United States issued occupation banknotes dated 1944, printed by the Forbes Lithograph Printing Company of Boston. These were printed in similar colours with different sizes for groups of denominations. Notes were issued for1⁄2 ℳ︁, 1 ℳ︁, 5 ℳ︁, 10 ℳ︁, 20 ℳ︁, 50 ℳ︁, 100 ℳ︁, and 1,000 ℳ︁. The issuer was theAlliierte Militärbehörde('Allied military authorities') withIn Umlauf gesetzt in Deutschland('in legal circulation in Germany') printed on the obverse.
These notes were convertible to US dollars at a rate of 10:1. Seeing an opportunity to procure foreign hard currency, theSoviet Uniondemanded copies of the engraving plates, ink, and associated equipment in early 1944, and on 14 April 1944Henry MorgenthauandHarry Dexter Whiteof theU.S. Treasury Departmentauthorized the air transfer of these to the USSR. Using a printing plant in occupiedLeipzig,the Soviet authorities printed large runs of occupation marks to fill Soviet coffers with dollars causing inflation and financial instability. An investigation by theUnited States Congress(Occupation Currency Transactions Hearings before the Committee on Appropriations, Armed Services and Banking and Currency,U.S. Senate,1947) found that about $380,000,000 "more currency than there were appropriations for" had been circulated.
In 1947Rhineland-Palatinateissued 5₰ and 10₰ notes withGeldscheinon them.

Occupation Reichsmark
edit
Coins and banknotes for circulation in the occupied territories during the war were issued by theReichskreditkassen.Holed, zinc coins in 5 ℛ︁₰ and 10 ℛ︁₰ denominations were struck in 1940 and 1941. Banknotes were issued between 1939 and 1945 in denominations of 50 ℛ︁₰, 1 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 2 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 5 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 20 ℛ︁ℳ︁, and 50 ℛ︁ℳ︁. These served as legal tender alongside the currency of the occupied countries.
The coins were originally planned in great numbers of 100 million and 250 million each of the 5 ℛ︁₰ and 10 ℛ︁₰ coins respectively. The first embossing order, which was issued in April 1940, was about 40 million × 5 ℛ︁₰ and 100 million × 10 ℛ︁₰. The total amount was divided between each of the seven German mints after the embossing key of 1939. The contract was stopped in August 1940 as the Wehrmacht, which had requested the coins for Belgium and France, had no more need of it. When the embossing stopped, only Berlin ( "A" ) and Munich ( "D" ) produced significant quantities, but they still came to only a small extent of original production plans. The majority were melted down due to the limited supply of metal and thus, most mint marks are now quite rare (except for 1940 5 A and D, and 1940 10 A).

Concentration camp and POW Reichsmark currency
editVarious special issues of Reichsmark currency were issued for use inconcentrationandprisoner of war(POW) camps (Stalag). None were legal tender in Germany itself. From 1942 to 1943 tokens were struck for use within theŁódź Ghetto.[13][citation needed]
Military Reichsmark currency
edit
Special issues of Reichsmark currency were issued for use by theWehrmachtfrom 1942 to 1944. The first issue was denominated in 1 ℛ︁₰, 5 ℛ︁₰, 10 ℛ︁₰, and 50 ℛ︁₰ and 1 ℛ︁ℳ︁, but was valued at 1 military Reichspfennig = 10 civilian Reichspfennig. This series was printed on only one side. The second issue notes of 1 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 5 ℛ︁ℳ︁, 10 ℛ︁ℳ︁, and 50 ℛ︁ℳ︁ were equal in value to the ordinary German Reichsmark and were printed on both sides.
The 5 Mark note pictured, front and back, is Allied military currency ( "AMC" ) printed at Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company in Boston for occupied Germany. There were different AMCs for each liberated area of Europe.[14]
