Greece Currency. In antiquity, the main Greek currency was the drachma. Its name derives from a verb meaning âto graspâ; it was used as currency as early as 1100 BC, and it consisted of a fistful (a âgraspâ) of six oboloi. Ancient Greek coins were not officially named and each city minted its own coins, using characteristic inscriptions.
