The euro € is used here. One American dollar ($1) is currently worth €0.88 euros. It fluctuates between €0.86 to €0.89 euros per American dollar.
In a typical grocery store, you can find a bottle of water for €0.60 cents. But wait! It can actually cost less. Berlin is big on recycle and reuse, and many plastic bottles have a pfand (deposit). If you return the bottle after use, you will receive €0.25 cents in return. That means if you recycle a bottle of water, it actually costs €0.35 instead of €0.60.
