Obol (coin)

An obol is an old coin that people used a long time ago instead of using paper money or credit cards. It was like a little piece of metal that was worth a certain amount of money. If you had a lot of obols, you could buy things like food and toys.

Think of it like when you play pretend store with your friends and you use pretend money to buy pretend things. An obol was like real money, but a long time ago.
