Drachmas to euro, money exhibit opens at NY Fed

ARTICLE - The Federal Reserve is hoping that the power of money will lure visitors to a lower Manhattan exhibit at a time when other downtown museums are having trouble.

Just a few steps from the now-destroyed World Trade Center, the display includes currencies ranging from ancient Greek drachmas, Europe's oldest currency that has just been displaced by euros to bamboo-framed salt bars to ornate gold coins - all money, depending on where and when you lived.
