Surely I'm not the only one to wax nostalgic about ye olde Guilder. Remember the colorful bills that were so big they wouldn't fit in your wallet? Well, seems as if there are still plenty around, 650 million, with well over two thirds of that in coins (see story:

Remember the coins? Once you got the hang of them they were much easier to count in a murky bar or coffeeshop. My favorite was the big old 2 1/2 guilder coin.
Am I crazy to pine over the old currency?
Any way, if you have coins, they need to be changed by the end of the year. If you've got folding money, no hurry, you've got until 2032.
