Man…I’m way out of here with my understanding of German currency. I thought the German mark was the currency they introduced after WWI when they started just printing money to pay back the allies.

Then I thought they abandoned it in favor of the euro which came after WWII.

My timeline/understanding is way off

The german currency after WWI was just called Mark, then after the hyperinflation it was replaced by the Reichsmark. After WWII came the Deutsche Mark. After the cold war the Euro.

  So there was a two year period where Germany had two currencys? The Deutsche Mark and the Euro from 1999-2001?
