Germany's currency is the Euro (currency symbol: €), which replaced the traditional Deutsche Mark (also known as Deutschmark or DM) in 2002.
The Euro is the only generally accepted currency in Germany. In the border regions with non-Euro countries (currently Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and Switzerland) you might encounter situations where the neighbouring country's currency is accepted, and in certain high-traffic tourist areas popular "tourist currencies" such as the US Dollar might be accepted by gift shops and hotels. In Berlin however, the Euro reigns supreme, and US Dollars, British pounds etc. will only be worth anything if you change them at a Bank or Bureau de Change. |
