The gulden (usually called guilder in English), represented by the symbol ƒ or fl., was the currency of the Netherlands from the 13th century until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. Between 1999 and 2002, the gulden was officially a "national subunit" of the euro. However, physical payments could only be made in gulden, as no euro coins and notes were available. Gulden are still in use in the Netherlands Antilles, a Dutch dependency, although this currency is distinct from the Dutch gulden. In 2004, the Surinamese gulden was replaced by the Surinamese dollar.
