Yes.

I think the german Postal Offices accept only german stamps...

I think $5 will be enough.

Well, the postage for a letter is DM 1.- within Germany (if you keep the
weight below 20g which is improbable with a 3.5" disk, DM 1.70 for a
letter of up to 50g).
Depending on the weight the international airmail fares to the USA are
   DM 1.65    for   5 g
   DM 1.90    for  10 g
   DM 2.15    for  15 g
   DM 2.40    for  20 g     (1.40 + n*0.25 per 5 g  up to 20 g)
   DM 3.35    for  25 g     (2.10 + n*0.25 per 5 g  up to 50 g)
   DM 3.60    for  30 g
   DM 3.85    for  35 g
   DM 4.10    for  40 g
   DM 4.35    for  45 g
   DM 4.60    for  50 g
   DM 5.55    for  55 g   .... (the table is longer than that,
     ...          ...           I'll try to save bandwidth now)
 DM 127.-    for 2000 g (this is MAXLETTERWEIGHT).
Is it that what you wanted to know?
By the way, 1 US$ is currently about DM 1.60 (rising).
