The drachma was the currency of which country?
Correct answer: Greece
Player Scandali
I grew up with the drachma and miss it. It's too bad Greece was conned into the euro by domestic and foreign corrupt politicians who only care(d) about lining their own pockets at the expense of the population

The writing in the picture is sideways and says "ATHE", for Athena, the goddess of wisdom, whose symbol is the owl. She was also the goddess of Athens (each city had its own God or goddess) and how it got its name, so I assume that's where this coin was from.
It is also why we associate owls with wisdom today.

the things in Greece was better with drachma.the money had better value.

I was covering some shifts at a friend's dive bar in an old mining town in Montana a few years ago while he was in the hospital and decided to clean the place up for him. The chairs in the card room were a gold mine!
Along with an old drachma, an Italian lira, silver quarters, two silver dollar, and three Indian head pennies, and an assortment of regular change... I also recovered tokens for two of the old brothels! LOL

For Centuries Greece has used the drachma it was well known around the global which country used it. Lots of greeks took a while to get over the change.

Player Scandali, I think Europe was trying to imitate the USA. One currency and no passports needed to travel to another Euro country.

Neon, My siblings and I love Percy Jackson. So when this question popped up, it was an immediate, "GREECE!!"

Guillermo Jr., Minerva is the Roman form of Athena, although the two are not exactly the same.

Player Scandali.....yawn! Greece has historically been unable to grasp financial responsibility (either intentionally or unintentionally) whether the drachma or the euro was their currency
