They retain the same eagle and denomination design seen on wartime issues, with one key difference: the swastika, typically found beneath the eagle’s talons, has been removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reichsmark was the official currency of Nazi Germany, with one Reichspfennig equal to 1\/100 of a Reichsmark. Before the war intensified, Reichspfennig coins were typically struck in bronze, but metal shortages soon led to a switch to cheaper zinc. Higher-denomination silver Reichsmark coins were also withdrawn, replaced by paper currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war, Reichsmarks continued to circulate alongside Allied-issued occupation currency.
