Images of Alleged “New” Deutsche Marks Are Photoshopped

May 14th, 2010

Since yesterday, a rumor has been circulating that Germany is about to drop the euro and re-issue the Deutsche Mark.

Today, images purporting to show pallets of “new” Deutsche Marks are making the rounds.

These images have been Photoshopped. The dates on the bundles of currency have been digitally manipulated.

The original source of the image is the Bundesbank website. This is the URL:

There are various sources for the Photoshopped images, none of which I am interested in promoting. (It just encourages them.)
