REFERENCE: On June 20, 1948, in the western occupation zones of Germany, the German mark was put into circulation instead of the Reichsmark. The depreciated Reichsmarks poured into the Soviet occupation zone of Germany, where they were still legal tender. This led to rapid inflation: all cash in circulation in East Germany depreciated almost overnight. As an emergency response, on June 23, 1948, the old Reichsmarks were exchanged for new ones - the same Reichsmarks, but with a control mark of the Soviet authorities. A maximum of 70 old Reichsmarks were exchanged per person at a rate of 1:1, exceeding the amount at a rate of 10:1, provided that their owner could prove the legality of their origin. During the monetary reform, which began on July 24, 1948
