<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4553000, member: 19463&quot;]I see stater as a catchall term meaning &#039;coin of standard value&#039; or &#039;unit&#039; which could be defined locally as desired.&nbsp; How is this different from the various countries today that have a monetary unit called &#039;dollar&#039; but $US, $AUS, $CA etc. are not an exact match?&nbsp; The first thing you learn in Greek history class is that there were a lot of cities, a lot of regions, a long period of time and many places that were not all that Greek but thought of themselves as Greek.&nbsp; Expecting them all to have thrown in their individuality and adopt the ancient &#039;Euro&#039; is asking a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
