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.

Was ancient greese in the iron age or the bronze age?

Ancient Greece experienced both the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The Bronze Age, which lasted until around 1100 BCE, was characterized by the emergence of early civilizations, such as the Minoans and Mycenaeans, who used bronze for tools and weapons. Following the Bronze Age, the Iron Age began, marked by the widespread use of iron and the rise of city-states, culminating in classical Greece around the 5th century BCE. Thus, ancient Greece spanned both periods, with significant cultural and technological developments occurring in each.
