    (And I don't have it on my US-101-keyboard.. ;-))
------------------------
    Common-used coins and such : 

    Fl. 0,01 = 1 cent (isn't used anymore in practice (!!)..)
    Fl. 0,05 = 1 stuiver 
    Fl. 0,10 = 1 dubbeltje
    Fl. 0,25 = 1 kwartje
    Fl. 2,50 = 1 rijksdaalder

 (Quite confusing, isn't it ? :-)
