Want this question answered?
It is up to the courts to decide for there is a lot of fraud or fraudulent people or a bank, but then if you are happy with their answer, then back to the courts? A $100.00 gold piece is a hundred dollars, but the gold makes it $1,500? Or Elvis lucky dollar bill worth how much?
There were no Greek coins produced in 1940 (actually, none between 1931 and 1953), so presumably you are talking about a bill. As a collectible, the bill's value would depend on its condition. As a matter of foreign exchange, approximately zero. The drachma is no longer in use, having been replaced by the Euro in 2002 (at a rate of 340.75 drachmas = 1 Euro). As of May 13, 2011, the Euro is worth US$1.4140. This implies that the exchange rate of 10 drachmas would be US$0.041496, or about 4 cents. However, that refers to the third modern drachma, in place since about 1954, replacing the second modern drachma at 1000 to 1. The second modern drachma, meanwhile, had replaced the first modern drachma at a rate of 50,000,000,000 to 1 in 1944 (there was some fairly severe hyper-inflation in Greece during World War II). Thus 10 1940-era drachmas would have an exchange rate (if they were still in fact exchangable, which they're not) value of 0.041496/1000/50000000000, which equals US$0.00000000000000082993397, or about 83 quadrillionths of a US cent ( a "quadrillionth" is a millionth of a billionth). As I said, approximately zero.

Your 1 Million Drachma Greek inflationary note has very little value -- they were printed like wallpaper -- perhaps a dollar from an interested buyer.
what is value
I assume that you are referring to a 5,000,000 Drachmai note from Greece (the first letter, called "delta" in greek, looks a little like an "a" in some fonts). The Greek Drachma is no longer in use, having been supplanted by the Euro in January 2002 at a rate of 340.75 drachma to the euro. My guess is that your note dates to 1941-1944, which was an era of hyper-inflation in Greece (and the only time a bill over 50,000 drachma was issued). In 1944, the drachma was revalued at 50,000,000,000 to 1, and in 1953 again by 1000 to 1. That would mean that your 5,000,000 drachma bill, were it exchangable (and I seriously suspect it was long ago demonetized) would be worth 1/10,000,000 of a 2002 drachma, or about 1/3 of a billionth of a euro (this is effectively zero). As for a value to collectors, that would largely depend on the condition of the bill and the rarity of the particular bill issue in question. *****Not wanting to delete the historical information above, this note books for about $3 in perfect uncirculated condition - so would be an interesting conversation piece to hold onto.
The U.S. did not print any $5 bills (or any other denominations, for that matter) dated 1944. Please check your bill and post a new question.
The Greek 100 Drachmai note (Apaxmai Ekaton) from 1978 or later is worth about $2.50 in mint uncirculated condition and face value in any used condition - although superseded by the Euro in 2001, old notes can still be exchanged in Greek banks - about $0.40.
It appears that there is a typo in your question as the text is not clear. Please provide more information or clarify so I can help determine the value of the bill you are referring to.
The US didn't print any bills dated 1944. Please check again and post a new, separate question.
1944. The full title of the Bill is The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The US stopped issuing fractional (less than $1) bills in the 19th century and no bills are dated 1944. It may be a military payment certificate or a bill issued for use in combat zones, in which case there should be some indication of that on the bill.
