The Dutch monetary system overseas of a rijksdaalder – or rixdollar – of 48 stuiver was continued in the Cape Province by the British in the early nineteenth century. In Ceylon , the VOC issued coins during the 18th century in denominations of 1 ⁄ 8 and 1 duit, 1 ⁄ 4 , 1, 2 and 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 stuiver and 1 rijksdaalder.
All coins share the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint in their design. This coin comes from the second series, with king Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. As is the case in Finland, most Dutch shops have elected not to issue one and two cent coins starting on 1 September 2004, though the coins remain legal tender. Sums are rounded ...
Luxembourg euro coins dated 2007-2008 were produced at Monnaie de Paris, in Pessac, France and bear the mint master mark of Hubert Larivière, Director of the Paris Mint.

The word can still refer to the 5 euro cent coin, which has almost exactly the same diameter and colour despite being over twice the value of the ...
The value of a Dutch silver coin corresponds with the theme of the coin. If the coin has a royal theme, then the face value is 10 euro. Any other subject and the coin will be of face value 5 euro. The same principle with the gold coins, which have face values of 10 euro and 20 euro. Sometimes also 50 euro gold coins are issued.
Thus, in order to prevent wasting them, it was decided to postpone the introduction of the coin for several years. The new coin had to fit in the current series. The ministry of finance reported it was to become "gold-coloured" and "smaller than the guilder coin and thicker than the rijksdaalder (2½ guilder coin)". It was introduced on 1 May 1988.
