One pound is subdivided into one hundred pence. The abbreviation UKL - United Kingdom Libra is also sometimes used. The name derives from antique silver coins. However, there are other versions of the origin of the concept of "sterling”.

The Armenian dram (sign ֏, code AMD) is the national currency of the Republic of Armenia, used within the borders of this Caucasian country. 1 dram could be previously subdivided into 100 lum. However, there are no coins or notes worth less than 10 dram used right now.

The currency has been issued in 1993 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Before that, the Soviet rubles had been in use. The country’s symbol on the notes was presented as iconic figures from the Armenian people, and as great architectural and art monuments as well. There is the national coat of arms and denomination decorated with a colorful design. The monetary unit’s name comes from the Greek drachma.
