About Deutsche Mark Exchange
The Deutsche Mark (DEM) was the official currency of West Germany and later reunified Germany, used from 1948 until it was replaced by the Euro in 2002. We accept all denominations of Deutsche Mark banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Deutsche Mark Banknotes
Germany adopted the Euro in 2002, so all Deutsche Mark banknotes are now withdrawn from circulation. The final series included a range of denominations, and we exchange them all — including the 1000 DEM note and the 200 DEM note, along with all smaller values. Unlike most high street exchanges, we still actively buy Deutsche Marks even though they are no longer legal tender.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
We accept Deutsche Mark banknotes from all series issued over the currency’s history, including earlier designs such as the 100 DEM note issued in 1960 and the 500 DEM note issued in 1960. Damaged notes are also considered, provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition. Most UK banks and bureaux de change will no longer touch Deutsche Marks, so we are one of the few reliable options available.
Deutsche Mark Coins
We also buy Deutsche Mark coins, including the larger denominations such as the 5 DEM coin and the 2 DEM coin, as well as the smaller Pfennig coins that many people still find tucked away in old wallets and drawers. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we are happy to accept them. If you also have other former European currencies, we exchange French Francs, Austrian Schillings, and a wide range of other pre-Euro currencies too.
