<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1388447, member: 26302&quot;]Never heard of the danake, but obolus is an obol. Its a very tiny unit of silver, so one could think of a dime or possibly a half dime value of pure silver today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to put this in modern terms is difficult due to so many things costing differently today than in the past. To put it in some perspective, an obol would probably pay for a good dinner at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, if someone really wanted a &quot;coin of Charon&quot;, there are some scarce Greek coins with Charon&#039;s picture on them. However, for the myth, any Greek obol would be acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
