About United States Dollar
The United States dollar is the official currency of the United States and several other countries. The Coinage Act of 1792 introduced the U.S. dollar at par with the Spanish silver dollar, divided it into 100 cents, and authorized the minting of coins denominated in dollars and cents. U.S. banknotes are issued in the form of Federal Reserve Notes, popularly called greenbacks due to their predominantly green color.
The U.S. dollar was originally defined under a bimetallic standard of 371.25 grains fine silver or, from 1834, 23.22 grains fine gold, or $20.67 per troy ounce. The Gold Standard Act of 1900 linked the dollar solely to gold. From 1934, its equivalence to gold was revised to $35 per troy ounce. In 1971 all links to gold were repealed. The U.S. dollar became an important international reserve currency after the First World War, and displaced the pound sterling as the world's primary reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement towards the end of the Second World War. The dollar is the most widely used currency in international transactions, and a free-floating currency. WikipediaAbout Netherlands Antillean Guilder
The Netherlands Antillean guilder was the currency of the Netherlands Antilles, and later of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, which until 2010 formed the Netherlands Antilles along with Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius. It was subdivided into 100 cents. The guilder was replaced on 1 January 2011 on the islands of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius by the United States dollar.
In Curaçao and Sint Maarten, a new currency, the Caribbean guilder, was proposed in November 2020. Originally planned for implementation in the first half of 2021, It had been stalled repeatedly by negotiations over the establishment of a separate central bank for Curaçao. The new guilder was eventually launched on 31 March 2025. The Netherlands Antillean guilders remained legal tender until 30 June 2025, then the currency was officially withdrawn. Wikipedia
