- 1德拉克馬（希臘改用歐元前的貨幣）
The drachma was the money of Greece for a very long time, until Greece joined the euro in 2002. People paid in drachmas the way we pay in dollars or in 元: coins, notes, prices in shops. You will mostly meet the word in history, old travel stories, or talk about the years before the euro. Though actually, the same old name also meant a small weight of silver, which is how a unit of money often begins — a coin that weighed about that much. Ancient Greek cities struck silver drachmas; modern Greece used the name again in later centuries. Do not use it for money in Greece today. That is the euro. One drachma; two or more drachmas (you may also see the older plural drachmae in very formal writing).
組成Learned borrowing from Latin drachma and its etymon Doric Greek δρᾰχμᾱ́ (drăkhmā́). Doublet of dram, diram, dirham, dirhem, adarme, and dam.
