drachma

You know, there are a few Greeks who talk really fondly about the country's previous currency, that's the drachma.

But you know, many Greeks also equate the drachma with poverty and with isolation, and that's where they fear they're headed right now.

And so much is imported in Greece, so Greeks wouldn't be able to buy much with their drachmas, like including medicine.

You know, the government says it has no plans to exit the eurozone and no plans to start printing their previous currency, the drachma.

To compound  matters a punitive tax was imposed on all Jews, whether in Judaea or the other provinces, whereby  they had to pay two drachmas every year simply for being Jewish.
