Thanks, er, I think! I'm the one who started this thread, and I sure didn't expect it to be so hot in here! Phew! It's scorchingly hot! :

Would make sense. There are currently 100 leptas (leptai?) to the Drachma - it's basically just the Greek word for cent. Of course, the Drachma itself is currenly not worth enough to bother dividing it - but it has existed in the past
