History

Saint Christopher's Drachma, was the first official currency of Saint Christopher. Before that, during the times of the ASR of 7th High School and the Principality of Quintarea, the euro was used in official purposes. When the Kingdom of Saint Christopher was formed, it was agreed by everyone, that an official currency was needed. So,General Triantafyllos,created St Christopher's Drachma, inspired by the former Hellenic currency by the same name. At first, only paper money of the currency was created. During the Golden Age, a sub-unit of the Drachma, Phoenix(Φοινικας) was made.
