    the denomination is the drachma (plural - drachmes)

    Greece is one of the 12 Euro countries, so these coins no longer have any value as coinage, only as collectibles.

    Otay, "drachmai."

    Philip is correct. Plural of drachmi is drachmai, which has been modified to drachmes in modern Greek and drachmas in English.I personally prefer the old Grammar,but it was considered closer to Ancient rather than modern, spoken Greek,and therefore more complicated.
