'{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}} '''Guilder''' is the [[English language|English]] translation of the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] '''''gulden''''' — from Old Dutch for 'golden'. The guilder originated as a [[gold coin]] (hence the name) 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 guilder was used most in the [[Netherlands]] (as the [[Dutch guilder]]), 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 (until 1 January 2011) the [[Caribbean Netherlands]]. One-and-a-half guilder was called a ''daalder'' (see [[thaler]]); two-and-a-half guilder was called a ''[[rijksdaalder]]''. The word daalder/thaler is the origin of [[dollar]]. *Current guilder: ** [[Netherlands Antillean guilder]] ([[Curaçao]] and [[Sint Maarten]]). *Former currencies in the [[Kingdom of the Netherlands]]: ** [[Dutch guilder]] ** [[Surinamese guilder]] ** [[Netherlands Indies gulden]] ** [[Netherlands New Guinean gulden]] *Proposed currency in the [[Kingdom of the Netherlands]] ** [[Caribbean guilder]] (Curaçao and Sint Maarten) *Proposed (theoretical) currency in [[Austria]], [[Finland]], [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], and [[Sweden]] ** [[European sovereign debt crisis#Two-currencies speculation|North European guilder]]<ref>{{de icon}} {{cite web|last=Henkel |first=Hans-Olaf |url=http://www.kleinezeitung.at/nachrichten/wirtschaft/2770243/hans-olaf-henkel-euro-sueden-gulden-norden.story |title=Euro im Süden, Gulden im Norden |publisher=Kleine Zeitung |date=22 June 2011 |accessdate=23 June 2011}}</ref> (in some parts of Europe) Historical guilders or guldens: * [[Austro-Hungarian gulden]] * [[British Guianan guilder]] * [[Danzig gulden]] * [[South German gulden]] * [[Rhenish gulden]] (florenus Rheni) issued by Trier, Cologne and Mainz ([[:de:Rheinischer Münzverein]]) ==Popular culture== ===Literature=== * Guilder and Florin are two [[Fictional country|fictional nations]] in the [[book]] and [[movie]] ''[[The Princess Bride]]''. ==References== {{reflist}} ==See also== Other coin names that are derived from the gold of which they were once made: *[[Öre]], [[øre]] *[[Złoty]] *[[Hungarian forint]] {{Guilder}} [[Category:Guilder| ]] [[Category:Modern obsolete currencies]] {{Link GA|de}} [[de:Gulden]] [[fr:Florin]] [[fy:Gûne]] [[id:Gulden]] [[lt:Guldenas]] [[hu:Forint]] [[ms:Guilder]] [[no:Gylden]] [[pl:Gulden]] [[ru:Гульден]] [[simple:Guilder]] [[sk:Zlatý (peniaze)]] [[fi:Floriini]] [[uk:Гульден]]'
