The national currency of Armenia, the dram, was first issued on November 22, 1993. 1 dram can be divided into 100 lum. The name dram comes from Greek, and it means money. The first recorded use of the name was in the 12th century, when there were silver coins called dram.
Mount Ararat has always been one of the main symbols of Armenia, for historically it was located on the territory of the Armenian Highlands. In 1923, a peace treaty drafted between Turkey and the Soviet Union allotted this land to Turkey. The Republic of Armenia, which was created after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, has not yet recognized this agreement. It regards Mount Ararat as historically and legally a part of its territory, and even Armenia’s coat of arms bears a depiction of the beloved mountain. In Armenia, Mount Ararat is still considered a sacred place by many people.
