Greek style worry beads are called Komboloi. Today, these beads are used to relieve stress and pass time. The word "Komboloi" comes from the Greek words kombos, to knot and loi, a group of things. From the monks using komboloi to count their prayers or chants, to the modern middle class business man of the Mediterranean, twirling and swinging of komboloi is popular in so many parts of the world. You can see Wikipedia's or About.com's articles on Komboloi for even more information on the traditions of komboloi.
