And to make it even clearer, here's the translation of the scene:
- Small coffee, please. - Anything else? - One of those waffles there. - That's 8 markka. - Oh yeah... I only have a large bill on me.
The guy gives him 2 markka.
- And here's your change (Don't know how this translates exactly, but it's the same thing.) - I gave you a thousand markka bill. It was a thousand markka bill, right? A grand! Didn't I give you a grand?

See, THIS is what I wanted. I saw the video already, I just had no idea what was being said.
So... is it something like: -Reimu paid 1000 marka for a cup of coffee(or tea?) -is now sad because she was given 2 marka as change Or something like that?

so.... he should have gave him 992 marks? thats the joke? damn those finnish people sure have a weird sense of humor
I'm not sure about the proper translation of the punchline. The original line doesn't actually specify the currency, so since they're in Gensoukyou it should perhaps be "It was a thousand yen bill".
On the other hand, 1000 yen isn't nearly as much money as 1000 markka, so the deadpan response is not as funny that way.
So after reading the comic and watching that video...
Reimu's being expressionless because she's trying to conceal that Marisa gave her a thousand markka bill? If that's the case then I would understand, but there's no conning going on here since it's a donation instead of a purchase.
But then again, memes are memes.
I'm sure Reimu will be glad now that I'm making my first donation.It was a thousand markka bill...
A reference to a Finnish internet meme.
