The Rentenmark (German: [ˈʁɛntn̩ˌmaʁk] ; RM) was a currency issued on 15 November 1923 to stop the hyperinflation of 1922 and 1923 in Weimar Germany, after the previously used Papiermark had become almost worthless.[1] It was subdivided into 100 Rentenpfennig and was replaced in 1924 by the Reichsmark.
