The euro is the common currency for the Eurozone—most countries in Europe. It eliminates the headache that European travelers had experienced before the euro's introduction when it was necessary to convert from one currency to the next each time a national border was crossed. The euro is subdivided like the dollar into 100 cents. Euros come in both...
Coins minted in the Netherlands from 1999 to 2013 feature the Dutch Queen Beatrix on the reverse. After 2013, when the Queen abdicated the throne, euro coins minted in the Netherlands feature King Willem Alexander (except for some special-issue coins).

Most Dutch residents and tourists who visited the country before 2002 will remember the guilder, which was officially retired that year. Guilder coins had been exchangeable for euros until 2007. Now, guilder coins retain no worth other than their (mostly subjective) collectors' value. If you still have guilder banknotes, they can still be exchanged...
The guilder (Dutch: gulden, pronounced [ˈɣʏldə(n)] ⓘ) or florin was the currency of the Netherlands from 1434 until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro.. The Dutch name gulden was a Middle Dutch adjective meaning "golden", and reflects the fact that, when first introduced in 1434, its value was about equal to (i.e., it was on par with) the Italian gold florin.

The guilder was adopted as the Netherlands’ monetary unit in 1816, though its roots trace to the 14th century, when the florin, the coinage of Florence, spread to northern Europe, where it became known as the guilder. (Indeed, the abbreviation for the Dutch currency remained “Hfl,” which denoted it as the Holland florin.)
With the introduction of the Euro as the single currency for the European Union, the Dutch Guilder (and the coins and banknotes) became history. On January 1th, 2002 the Euro coins and banknotes were introduced and from January 28th of the same year the Guilder is no longer legal tender.
