Greek currency used in "Percy Jackson" novels (7)

I believe the answer is:

drachma

(Other definitions for drachma that I've seen before include "Old Greek currency" , "European currency replaced by the euro in 2002" , "Former Greek monetary unit" , "money in the past" , "Formerly the basic unit of money in Greece" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
