D
Correct answer
Explanation
The drachma was Greece's official currency from ancient times until 2001 when Greece adopted the Euro. Modern Greek drachmas were used from 1832 until their replacement by the euro in 2002. The yen is Japan's currency, pound refers to British or other currencies, and Manticore is a mythical creature, not a currency.
