The drachma was a stable currency for most of its history, but it suffered from hyperinflation in the 1940s and 1950s. The drachma was pegged to the US dollar from 1953 to 1973, and it was then pegged to the European Currency Unit (ECU) from 1979 to 2001. Greece joined the European Monetary Union in 2001, and the drachma was replaced by the euro on January 1, 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect.
