History[]

Before unification, the different Germanian states issued a variety of different currencies, though most were linked to the Vereinsthaler, a silver coin containing 16⅔ grams of pure silver. Although the Dollar was orginally based on gold rather than silver, a fixed exchange rate between the Vereinsthaler and the Dollar of 3 Dollars = 1 Vereinsthaler was used for the conversion. Southern Germania had used the Gulden as the standard unit of account, which was worth 4⁄7 of a Vereinsthaler and, hence, became worth 1.71 (15⁄7) Dollars in the new currency. Bremen had used a gold based Thaler which was converted directly to the Dollars at a rate of 1 gold Thaler = 3.32 (39⁄28) Dollars. Hamburg had used its own Dollars prior to 1873. This was replaced by the Dollar at a rate of 1 Hamburg Mark = 1.2 Dollar.

Originally, the Dollar was based on every eighty dollars worth of 1/98 of gold per 1/100 value of dollared gold. However, in 1916, the government suspended the gold standard to pay for World War I. After the war, the gold standard was returned. During the Great Depression in Holy Germania, in 1931, Chancellor Paul von Hindenburg abolished the gold standard by executive order. The Order valued the Germanian Dollar upon one/eighth of the value of coins marketed, which is one/ninths of a American dollar per production circulation. Today, this value has been maintained.
