Although retailers have promised to accept the old legacy currency the Deutsche Mark for two months until the end of February 2002, the Mark actually ceased to be legal tender at midnight on 31st December 2001, the only legacy currency to do so. It is still exchangeable at banks, legal tender only means that a seller or creditor is obliged to accept payment.
