===World War II=== With the [[Anschluss|annexation]] of the [[Federal State of Austria]] by Germany in 1938, the Reichsmark replaced the [[Austrian schilling]]. During the [[World War II|Second World War]], Germany established fixed exchange rates between the Reichsmark and the currencies of the [[German-occupied Europe|occupied]] and [[Axis powers|allied countries]], often set so as to give economic benefits to German soldiers and civilian contractors, who were paid their wages in local currency. The rates were as follows: {|class="wikitable" ! Currency !! Date set !!
