I thought 1 DM was 1 euro? So this seems a bit of a scam at the time? Or have I misremembered the value of old money?

The exchange value at the time Was 1 € for 2 Mark but after 20 years of inflation you pay roughly the same amount of € as you would have been paying Mark at the time

Ah ok, due to all the public service announcements I do still remember in the Netherlands 2,20371 guilders for each euro but I mistakenly thought in Germany it was almost 1:1
