I'm afraid that won't work. Originally you could buy it for Reichsmarks, the Deutsche Mark was our post war currency that has been replaced by the Euro.

Here's a little offtopic story

I wasn't very old at that time. I was with my Father visiting some relatives, I guess it was. He was a very old man and I thought that he was very very rich. He had a parcel filled with German Reichsmarks.

Later on I learned that those money was worth nothing.

It was money from the time where Germany had this huge inflation were a cup of sugar could cost about 1-2 million Riechsmark. It was those money he had.

Reminds me of a history lesson in school many years ago where in the book we were reading was a picture of an old lady pushing a wheelbarrow full of bank notes...the caption underneath explained it was just enough to buy a loaf of bread at the time.
