From 1 January 2002, euro banknotes and coins are legal tender in all EU member states participating in monetary union. This has nullified the legal tender status of all payment media denominated in Deutsche Mark. The Bank has called in for exchange all DM coins (which have been withdrawn from circulation) - with the exception of the 2 DM coin first issue.
