The German Reichsmark, which was used throughout Hitler's regime from 1933 to 1945, had surprisingly small amount of Nazi images used on their banknotes.

As opposed to the Reichspfenning coins that widely used the Nazi-German eagle and swastika, there is only particular banknote that had anything Nazi related on them. The 5 Reichsmark banknote features a blonde young man looking sternly into the distance with the eagle and swastika featured as well. Some post-1933 banknotes do have a large swastika behind the currency value but that only applied to the newer banknotes and not those that were in wide circulation by 1933.

Other banknotes that were used during this period were the 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000 Reichsmark banknotes. The 10 Reichsmark features Albrecht Thaer, the 20 Reichsmark features Ernst Werner von Siemens, the 50 Reichsmark features David Ganfemann, the 100 Reichsmark features Justus von Liebig and finally, the 1000 Reichsmark features Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
