Reichsmark of Weimar Republic

The Reichsmark (RM) was the official currency of Germany from 1924 to 1948. It replaced the Papiermark as the currency of the Weimar Republic and continued to be used during the Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler. The Reichsmark was subdivided into 100 Reichspfennig.

The Reichsmark underwent significant fluctuations in value during its existence, particularly during the hyperinflation of the early 1920s and the economic instability of the Great Depression. Under the Nazi regime, the Reichsmark was subject to various economic policies aimed at strengthening the German economy and promoting the goals of the Nazi party.

After World War II, the Reichsmark was replaced by the Deutsche Mark (DM) in West Germany as part of the currency reform of 1948. In East Germany, the Reichsmark was replaced by the East German Mark (Mark der DDR) in 1948. The Reichsmark ceased to be legal tender in Germany after the currency reforms, but it remains a significant symbol of the economic and political history of the country during the first half of the 20th century.
