About 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 The Netherlands Antillean guilders remained legal tender until 30 June 2025, then the currency was officially withdrawn. WikipediaAbout Special Drawing Rights
Special drawing rights are supplementary foreign exchange reserve assets defined and maintained by the International Monetary Fund. SDRs are units of account for the IMF, and not a currency per se. SDRs represent a claim to currency held by IMF member countries for which they may be exchanged. When SDRs were created in 1969, they were each worth 0.888671 grams of gold, roughly the equivalent of one US dollar at the time. In 1973, following the termination of the Bretton Woods agreement in 1971, the IMF redefined the SDR as equivalent to the value of a specific selection of world currencies.
SDRs are allocated by the IMF to countries and central banks, and cannot be held or used by private parties. The number of SDRs in existence was around XDR 21.4 billion in August 2009. During the 2008 financial crisis, an additional XDR 182.6 billion was allocated to "provide liquidity to the global economic system and supplement member countries' official reserves". By October 2014, the number of SDRs in existence was XDR 204 billion. Wikipedia
