Forum checks (German: Forumscheck) were a form of hard currency in East Germany. By law all East Germans had to convert any Deutsche Marks (and other western currencies) they possessed into Forum checks at the state bank. A Forum check mark was worth 1 Deutsche Mark. Forum checks, as well as western currencies, were accepted in Intershops as payment for western consumer goods.
