Greek currency
Athens' legal tender
The currency of Greece.
Before 2001, Greece used the drachma, one of the world's oldest currencies.
Greece then adopted the euro as part of the European Union.
References to Greek currency in economic discussions often concern the country's debt crisis and debates about whether Greece might return to the drachma.
