there are immense amount of memories connected to Deutsche Mark

In fact it was unofficial currency smile
With such coins yours truly used to go to duty free shop to buy some stuff wink
of course without ID card smile
It is amazing how far apart we lived but how many same things connect us
Sincerely yours

E-F, you are too kind.
