The DRΑCΗΜΑ is different, it was a Greek coin which the Roman DΕΝΑRΙUS (translated unfortunately "penny" Revelation 6:6, a laborer's daily wages Matthew 20:2-9) superseded: Luke 15:8-9, "PIECE OF SILVER," Greek drachmee . (See PENNY.) The "penny," denarius , in metal was equivalent to 7 1/2 pence, but could purchase more than our shilling.
