About 10 cents
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.
Most of the Greek Philosophers valued Truth and Wisdomthe most, especially the Big Three (Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle).
During the American Revolution, the value of money generally decreased due to rampant inflation and lack of backing for currency. The Continental Congress issued paper money, known as Continental Currency, to fund the war, but its overproduction led to a significant loss of value, famously resulting in the phrase "not worth a Continental." As the war progressed and economic instability grew, the purchasing power of money diminished, making it increasingly difficult for people to cope with rising prices and shortages.
Fiat money. This is money that has no tangible value. An alternative is gold, which in itself has tangible value.
there is value to german money from ww2 but only because it's money
Your 1 Million Drachma Greek inflationary note has very little value -- they were printed like wallpaper -- perhaps a dollar from an interested buyer.
The value of a 50 Greek drachma bill from 1978 in American currency is generally quite low, often just a few dollars, depending on its condition and market demand among collectors. As the drachma was replaced by the euro in 2002, its collectible value may exceed its face value, but specific prices can vary. To get an accurate valuation, it’s best to consult a currency collector or an online marketplace for similar items.
Greece switched to using the Euro in 2002. 100 Drachma was worth about 43 US cents.
30 drachmas
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.
The value of a 50 drachma Greek coin will depend on the design, date and condition.
The lira was an Italian unit of money. Greece used the drachma as its currency. Please determine what kind of coin you have and post a new, separate question that includes its date.
I'm assuming that apaxme is another way (perhaps Spanish?) to refer to the Greek Drachma: ελληνική δραχμή. Pardon me if I am mistaken. On January 1 2002, the cash drachma was replaced by the Euro. One drachma equalled 340.75 Euros.
The value of 5,000 drachmas can vary depending on the context, such as whether you're referring to ancient Greek drachmas or the modern Greek drachma used before the euro was adopted in 2002. As of the euro's introduction, the exchange rate was approximately 340.75 drachmas to 1 euro, making 5,000 drachmas worth about 14.70 euros. However, if considering the ancient drachma, its value would depend on historical context and the specific time period in 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.
The paper money you are looking at is 5,000,000 Greek drachmas (δραχμαι πέντε εκατομύρια, or ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ ΠΈΝΤΕ ΕΚΑΤΟΜΎΡΙΑ, or in Roman alphabet drachmai pende ekatomyria). The Greek drachma is no longer in circulation; it has been replaced by the euro. At the time of the changeover, 5,000,000 drachmas was worth exactly €14,673.51; however, you can no longer convert old drachma bank notes, so its value is limited to its worth as a collector's item. Also, there was no 5,000,000 drachma banknote at that time, so it is likely that you have an older Greek banknote, again valuable only as a collector's item.
Greece has been in a period of economic depression for several years. Thus, its money doesn't have a lot of value compared to U.S. dollars. The current exchange is .004 (or less than a half a penny) for 1 drachma.
