The European Union's currency is not the Mark, although Germany was the strongest member at the time.

Creating a new currency with a new name is the logical decision. It all depends on what the countries decide.

BRICS is not the EU.  There's little or no cultural connection between BRICS nations like the those of the European continent.  China would not play unless they are in full control.  They don't strike me as the go along type.
