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.

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.
