What is the reason for the introduction of the Caribbean guilder?On October 10, 2010, Curaçao and Sint Maarten became autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and formed a monetary union with a shared central bank and a new currency. In the “Regeling Gemeenschappelijk Geldstelsel Curaçao en Sint Maarten” that regulates the currency of the monetary union of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, it is stipulated that the Caribbean guilder will replace the Netherlands-Antillean guilder (NAf.).
-
When will the Caribbean guilder officially be introduced?The Caribbean guilder will enter into circulation on March 31, 2025.
-
What will be the exchange rate of the Caribbean guilder to the U.S. dollar?Like the Netherlands-Antillean guilder, the Caribbean guilder will be legally pegged to the U.S. dollar at an exchange rate of US$1 = 1.79.
-
How long will the Netherlands-Antillean guilder and the Caribbean guilder be in circulation at the same time?The two currencies will co-circulate for 3 months as of March 31, 2025.
-
How long after the introduction of the Caribbean guilder can the Netherlands-Antillean guilder still be used for payments?Cash payments in Netherlands-Antillean guilder will be accepted for up to 3 months as of the introduction of the Caribbean guilder on March 31, 2025. This means that you can make cash payments in NAf until June 30, 2025. You will receive your change (mainly) in Caribbean guilder.
-
Where can I exchange my Netherlands-Antillean guilder for Caribbean guilder and for how long?Exchanges can be made at the commercial banks where you hold an account, for up to 12 months after the introduction of the Caribbean guilder. This means that March 31, 2026, will be the last day to exchange ANG at commercial banks. However, after these 12 months, your Netherlands-Antillean guilders can still be exchanged at the CBCS for up to 29 years – until March 31, 2055.

The app also provides information about the Caribbean guilder theme and everything that is featured on the notes and coins.
