Hitler Mark Is Being Scuttled
Berlin reports that the three western powers replaced the Reichs mark with a new Deutsche mark in their zones. The plan uses a delayed action exchange, with about 45 million Germans waiting a week to learn the new rate, likely 10 old marks to 1 new mark near 30 cents. Shoppers rushed to spend as rumors spread, stores cleared out, and businesses refused old money to prepare for postwar recovery.
