The Dutch Guilder was the official currency of the Netherlands before it was replaced by the euro in 2002. It was subdivided into 100 cents and was used in various forms, including coins and banknotes. The guilder has a long history, dating back to the 15th century, and was known for its stability and reliability. The symbol for the Dutch guilder was "fl." or "ƒ," and it played a significant role in international trade during the Dutch Golden Age. The currency is still remembered today, and collectors often seek out old guilder coins and notes for their historical value and design.
