The Deutsche Mark was not introduced until 1948. In 1917 the German currency was the Reichsmark.
I found an article that suggested a US dollar is worth 4.2 1914 marks or deustchemarks. Germany now uses the Euro so it would mainly be worthy of interest to collectors I would imagine.

Since 2002 the only legal tender currency in Germany has been the Euro. The currency before that (1948-2002) was called the Deutsche Mark (DM), which was generally referred to in English as the Deutschmark or the German Mark. From 1925-1948 the currency was the Reichsmark (RM), which should not be translated.In particular, Deutsch is simply the German word for German
one mark its about 17pence
The mark has been not used since Germany adopted the euro in 2002; at the time of change it was worth about 50cents. Deutschmarks are no longer legal tender in Germany.
The 1804 Silver dollar, Class I and the 2007 C$1m coin are worth more than the German Mark
It was a common circulation coin until 2002 when Germany switched to the euro as its currency. At that time it was worth about 50 U.S. cents.
A lot of Germans settled in Pennsylvania. They are called The Deutsch (pronounced do-ich'). People started saying Dutch instead of do-ich'. it was a more English way of saying Deutsch. The Pennsylvania Dutch are German, not Holland Dutch. Germany had the deutsche mark for their currency before the Euro's.
As of today, the German mark is no longer in use as Germany adopted the euro in 2002. At the time of conversion, 1 euro was equivalent to 1.95583 German marks. Therefore, 500,000 German marks would have been worth approximately 255,000 euros.
Unfortunately, your German mark is only worth $1-$2 depending on its condition. This mark is very common and does not have a high value.
