The new drachma currency showcased on Twitter (see new drachmas)

The new Greek drachmas pay tribute to some of the most amazing Greeks

Twitter uses with a sense of humor and a knack for graphic arts gave their own suggestions to what a new drachma currency should look like.

The 50-drachma bill should feature Greek-French philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis

Who better than actress/politician Melina Mercouri for the 100-euro drachma?
