Understanding the History of the Drachma, the Former Currency of Greece

Drachmai (δραχμί) is the Greek word for "drachmas", which was the official currency of Greece until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. The word "drachma" is derived from the Latin word "drachma", which means "handful", and it was originally used to refer to a small unit of weight or measure. Over time, the term came to be used as a synonym for the Greek currency.
