Ahoj Ivan.
I read the article, but it does not make any reference to my question.
My doubt comes, and as you know, because in the first annexation of the Sudetenland, if coins from Bohemia and Moravia were made, perhaps in Austria Schilling continued to be used.
Simply the Reichsmark.

​Hello
Austria was incorporated into Germany, where Bohemia and Moravia were a protectorate
Edit:
When Austria joined Germany in 1938, it was exclusively German coins. Between 1938 and 1944, she was awarded the coinage mark "B", which was used by the Mint Hannover until 1878.

​Austria was annexed into Germany, rather than becoming a protectorate or being occupied by Germany in the war, so rather than continuing to mint it's own coinage it used the German Reichsmark like any other part of Germany from 15th March 1938 to 30th November 1945.

As for how Schillings were used after the annexation...

"The Schilling was abolished in the wake of the Anschluss (1938), when it was exchanged at a rate of 2 German Reichsmark to 3 Schilling."

​I still have much to learn about this era, so please forgive me if my question seems silly or odd. My information gives the "B" mink mark as being Wien (Vienna). I then went through my collection of German coins (1933 - 45) and noted that I had not one B coin. So if Austria was annexed by Germany in 1938 to 1944, does that mean that the B mint mark can only be found upon coins from 38 to 44?
Collector of Third Reich coins (1933 - 1946), and Australian coins.
Not swapping at this time.

​Hello
I'm pretending in advance, I'm not an expert on WW coins.
Yes, on your question - German coins under the brand "B" were made in Vienna Mint 1938-1944
The "B" mark used by the Mint Hannover until 1878 - this mark "B" was allocated to the Vienna Mint for the years 1938 to 1944.
Mints of War Germany A_B_D_E_F_G_J- The amount of coins for each mint is in the catalog
PS: I have a few coins from Australia-little
if you just want to open the exchange and "B" is yours ( and others from WW)

Hello,
You find them all here after removing the 19th century coins.
Not too rare except maybe the KM 95 (50 pf nickel) and KM 78 (mark) that are more difficult to find.
I have some of the zinc coins for swap.
Quand l'Histoire et la Géographie se croisent sur nos pièces de monnaie ...
the rare thing is to find non pitted zinc coins....
