Talk:Guilder
From Academic Kids
It would be a valuable addition if someone could find images of the Dutch Guilder notes (which, as I recall, were very attractively designed). We post similar images for Euro_banknote and United States dollar too. -- Finlay McWalter 14:50, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- You can get those from the ECB website here (http://www.ecb.int/bc/exchange/nl/html/index.en.html). I think it would be better if somebody could upload a better picture of the 1G coin because its hard to see what colour its supposed to be. All my Guilders are silver but that looks brown. --Neal ricketts 14:54, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Among them was the daalder, one and a half guilder -- is this right? I recall that Rijksdaalder was the nickname of the two-and-a-half-guilder coin. -- Arwel 16:36, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Citing "the name gulden was used, derived from the German Goldene (golden)." Did someone ever come to the idea that it could be just an original Dutch word ??. The Dutch word "gulden" means gold (adjective), although usually "gouden" is being used today.
"Daalder" = 1.50 guilder, that's right. Probably there used to be a coin for this amount. "Rijksdaalder" = 2.50 guilder.

To avoid confusions: German gulden and Dutch guilders had different values against the thaler (or "Reichsthaler"). Three German gulden equalled 2 German Reichssthaler. Dutch and Polish gulden were less valuable - I will give the early 18th century exchange rates against the pound in the article.
Exchange Rate history
The wonderful Japanese Yen page contains historical JPY/USD rates. It would be excellent if these could be added here.
