The '''{{lang|de|Reichsmark}}''' ({{IPA|de|ˈʁaɪçsˌmaʁk|lang|De-Reichsmark.ogg}}; [[Currency sign|sign]]: '''ℛ︁ℳ︁'''; abbreviation: '''RM''') was the [[currency]] of [[German Reich|Germany]] from 1924 until the fall of [[Nazi Germany]] in 1945, and in the [[Bizone|American, British and French occupied zones of Germany]], until 20 June 1948. The Reichsmark was then replaced by the [[Deutsche Mark]], to become the currency of [[West Germany]] and then all of Germany after the 1990 reunification. The Reichsmark was used in the [[Soviet occupation zone of Germany]] until 23 June 1948, where it was replaced by the [[East German mark]]. The Reichsmark was subdivided into 100 {{lang|de|Reichspfennig}} (Rpf or ℛ︁₰).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-14 |title=Reichspfennig – Schreibung, Definition, Bedeutung, Synonyme, Beispiele |url=https://www.dwds.de/wb/Reichspfennig |access-date=2024-06-23 |website=DWDS |language=de}}</ref> The [[Mark (unit)|Mark]] is an ancient Germanic weight measure, traditionally a half pound, later used for several coins; {{lang|de|Reich}} (''realm'' in English) comes from the official name for the German state from 1871 to 1945, {{lang|de|[[German Reich|Deutsches Reich]]}}.
