drachmas
Pre-euro Greek currency
Drachmas is the plural of drachma, the ancient Greek unit of currency and the modern Greek monetary unit used before Greece adopted the euro in 2002.
The word appears in historical contexts and biblical references: Thirty drachmas would have been a month's wages.
In discussions of Greek economic history, both drachmas and drachmae serve as plurals.
