<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2675028, member: 39&quot;]Those denominations are from different times. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Germany between 1871 and 1923 simply had the Mark (1 M = 100 Pfennig). In 1923 there was the &quot;Rentenmark interlude&quot; (ended the hyperinflation period; 1 RM = 100 Rentenpfennig), and between 1924 and 1948 there was the Reichsmark (1 RM = 100 Reichspfennig).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now before 1871 the different German countries had different currencies, even though there had already been a few currency unions and coinage treaties. The Thaler, later just Taler, had been around since the 16th century, in different varieties. (The name Taler refers to the town of St. Joachimsthal, today Jáchymov, CZ.) The Gulden is even older, originally referring to the fiorino d&#039;oro, the gold florin from Florence ...</p><p><br /></p><p>No post-1871 German coin says Taler by the way. But the term was commonly used for the 3 Mark coin. The 10 M gold coin was officially called Krone (Crown), but that term did - in Germany - not appear on the coins either. </p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
