Wikipedia

  1. Guilder

    Guilder is the English translation of the Dutch and German gulden, originally shortened from Middle High German guldin pfenninc "gold penny". This was the term that became current in the southern and western parts of the Holy Roman Empire for the Fiorino d'oro (introduced in 1252). Hence, the name has often been interchangeable with florin (currency sign ƒ or fl.). The guilder is also the name of several currencies used in Europe and the former colonies of the Dutch Empire.

    Guilder is the English translation of the Dutch gulden — from Old Dutch for 'golden'. The guilder originated as a gold coin but has been a common name for a silver or base metal coin for some centuries. The name has often been interchangeable with florin. The [currency sign] is ƒ. The guilder was used most in the Netherlands, until it was replaced by the euro on 1 January 2002. The Netherlands Antillean guilder is currently the only guilder which is in use, which after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles remained the currency of the new countries Curaçao and Sint Maarten and the Caribbean Netherlands. One-and-a-half guilder was called a dalder; two-and-a-half guilder was called a rijksdaalder. The word daalder/thaler is the origin of dollar.
