| Comments | By 1922 Greece was financially drained by its involvement in a series of wars over 10 years.
The government therefore imposed a compulsory internal loan. Under Act 2749 of 25 March 1922 all banknotes of 5 drachmas and over were cut in half. The left hand section then circulated at half its original value; the right hand section was exchanged for a 20 year bond. Withdrawal of these notes began in December 1924 and continued until they were declared invalid in January 1932. |
