The Greek Drachma was the currency of Greece from 1832 until 2002, when it was replaced by the Euro. In Ancient Greece, ‘drachma’ was the name of a standard weight and silver coin. The origin lies in the Greek word ‘dragma’, meaning ‘handful’, pointing to a handful of ‘obols’, equal to one-sixth of a drachma.
