Best Answer

In the emerging metals economy, iron was a valuable commodity, and iron rods were used as a currency - a rod was an obol, and a handful of obols (six) made up a drachma. A drachma was the daily wage of a tradesman; a labourer earned three obols. The iron bar was eventually replaced by copper and silver coins.
