In Cleopatra's time coins were used for money. The Roman denarius and the Greek drachma were widely used. Remember, Alexandria was, in addition to Egypt's perfect capital, also a major trading port.
Before adopting the euro, Greece used a currency called the drachma. The drachma has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece, and was reintroduced as the official currency in 1828 after Greece gained independence. The drachma was replaced by the euro on January 1, 2002, at a conversion rate of 340.75 drachmas to one euro.
Greece used the Drachma before 2002. Since then it uses the Euro.
the drachma was an ancient Greek coin. Now, the Euro is used as Greek currency.

Drachma are the ancient Greek currency, but Charon (the ferryman for the underworld/Hades) accepted one sixth of a gold drachma or so I've read. Most movies use drachma too so I'd imagine this is most accurate I hope :D
drachma
yes; greek money was called drachma my English teacher told us.
It is unmeasurable, since Greece is a part of the European Union the Drachma is out of use and therefore can't be calculated.
Drachma, and more recently Euro also.
in ancient they called it drachma
You use the drachama for a bag of wind.
Yes, at times they did. The value of the money was in the metal of the coin. If the drachma had the same amount of metal as the Roman coin, it was used. There are even records of the Roman army being paid in drachmas rather than denarii.
