The exchange rate is 1 000 000 000 000 : 1 (one trillion a Papiermarks to one Reichsmark). The REICHSMARK was based on the gold standard with a rate of 4.2 Reichsmark per dollar; and after the devaluation of the dollar in 1934 - 2.5 Reichsmark per dollar. (Wikipedia. Article "Reichsmark" [rus]).
"Due to the high inflation rate of local currency units in Kosovo and Montenegro, the German mark became the official currency for some time. In Kosovo, the mark was declared legal tender in September 1999. In Montenegro, the mark was in circulation in parallel with the Dinar on 2 November 1999 and became the only legal tender since November 2000. In many Eastern European countries, the Deutsche mark was considered an unofficial national currency due to high demand. Some currencies, such as the convertible mark in Bosnia and the Bulgarian Lev, were "tied" to the mark at the rate of 1:1.' (Wikipedia. Article "German mark" [rus]).
