Currency
From Before to Now
In 1999 there was an important change in the currency, from the Deutsche Mark to the Euro as bank money of the common currency of all. Since 2002, the euro was also used as cash money. The exchanging rate of DM into Euro was, and still is 1.96:1.
An interesting aspect at the conversion of the currency from DM into the Euro is that also after many years the DM is still convertible. 10 years after the Euro as the common currency there are still billions of DM in use. The money can be exchanged at the German Bundesbank and in some shops you can still pay with DM.
