- Germans use commas as the decimal separator, while periods are only used to separate thousands.

- As stated in one of the linked mastodon posts, the abbreviation for the Deutsche Mark was DM, not DEM

Also, I have no idea how the seller thought the German Red Cross would emboss their paper with a circle of stars. If anything, embossing the cross itself would make the most sense. Probably they had the tool on hand from another forgery where it may have made more sense.
