The currency was the Reichsmark (RM), which had replaced the inflationary currecny of 1919-23. In the later stages of World War 2 and the first few months after the war, the Reichsmark lost about 80-85% of its value. As a result many people lost most of their savings a second time. In West Germany a new currency, the Deutsche Mark (DM) was introduced in June 1948 at the rate of 10 RM to 1 DM and 13.5 RM on balances of more than 5,000 RM. The new currency lasted till 1999-2002 when it was replaced by the Euro.
The currency was the "Reichsmark".
