      What does Greek drachma stand for?
      Drachma, silver coin of ancient Greece, dating from about the mid-6th century BC, and the former monetary unit of modern Greece. The drachma was one of the world’s earliest coins. Its name derives from the Greek verb meaning ‘to grasp,’ and its original value was equivalent to that of a handful of arrows.
      Are drachmas still used in Greece?
      Greek drachma banknotes became obsolete in 2002, when Greece joined the Eurozone. The exchange deadline for Greek drachmae expired in 2012. All drachma bills issued by the Athens-based Bank of Greece have lost their monetary value. However, we give cash for demonetized pre-euro Greek Drachma notes that reflects their numismatic (collector’s) value.

      Will Greece return to the drachma?
      Greece -and all eurozone countries- will return to their national currencies (not necessarily called drachma) between 2018 and 2021 when the euro will cease to exist. I don't like it, but that's where Europe is headed, traveling fast.
