Drachma, pl. drachmas or drachmae (δραχμή, pl. δραχμές or δραχμαί (until 1982)) is the name of the currency used in Greece during several periods in its history:

#An ancient Greek currency unit found in many Greek city states from Classical times on, as well as in many of Alexander's successor states and South-West Asian kingdoms during the Hellenistic era.

#Three modern Greek currencies, the first introduced in 1832 and the last replaced by the euro in 2001 (at the rate of 340.750 drachma to the euro). The euro did not begin circulating until 2002 but the exchange rate was fixed on 19 June 2000, with legal introduction of the euro taking place in January 2002.

9.87 min. | 5.0 user rating		 The reality is, the world is in a whole mess of debt and it's all coming due at the same time. Make no mistake about it, the situation in Europe is dire. The problems with Greece are well known. The problems in Spain are growing, and the problems in Ireland and Portugal are about to rear their ugly heads. I'm not going to rhapsodize about the problems in Europe, they are well known and are manifesting themselves in the price action of the world markets, however, in this short video on the euro I want to show you how monthly charts and our "Trade Triangles" tell the story and show the trend very clearly. I also show you a simple method that you can use in your everyday trading to estimate how far a move can go. My hope is that this new video will highlight some of the reasons why I believe we could be seeing some strong opportunities in this market. The video is available for viewing now and there is no charge or registration requirement. If you'd like to comment on this video, please visit the Trader's Blog to make your views known.

1.03 min. | 5.0 user rating		 I have a habit of collecting currency (a couple of coins mostly) from different countries. Today I just stumbled upon a few hundred or so (in coins, as the value was much lower than the US Dollar) Greek drachmas, which as the new currency is the Euro, is no longer in use, and I'm guessing it's hard to find? Or perhaps it isn't? In any case, enjoy the nostalgia!
