Currency and The Exchange Rate
The German currency is the Deutschmark , which comes in notes of DM5 (rarely encountered), DM10, DM20, DM50, DM100, DM200, DM500 and DM1000; and coins of DM0.01 (one Pfennig), DM0.02, DM0.05, DM0.10, DM0.50, DM1, DM2 and DM5. The exchange rate for the Deutschmark is fixed at DM1.96 to the euro . Throughout the Rough Guide , prices are given in both Deutschmarks and euros, using a straight two to one conversion. However, it is fair to anticipate that the introduction of the new currency will lead to prices being rounded upwards far more often than downwards, so expect to pay a bit more than the amounts quoted.
