Reply to comment by MrMitchWeaver in TIL that the Fuggerei in Augsburg, Germany is the oldest public housing complex in the world, being founded all the way back to the 1510s. by TheMisterClo

I imagine that it changed in 1524 and 1551 when the Imperial gulden was redefined (though they may have charged in Reichsthaler instead), in 1754 when the South German gulden was introduced, 1873 when the Imperial German Goldmark replaced it, 1914 when the Papiermark replaced that, 1924 when the Rentenmark and then the Reichsmark replaced that, 1948 when the Deutsche Mark replaced that, and lastly in 2002 when the Euro replaced that.
