History reference:
The Suriname dollar is the currency of the Republic of Suriname. From the end of the 17th century, the Surinamese guilder was used as a currency in Suriname, which was in circulation on a par with th...e Dutch guilder. In 1940, after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, the Surinamese guilder was pegged to the US dollar at a ratio of 1.88585 guilders to 1 dollar. High inflation in the early 1990s caused the Surinamese guilder to depreciate catastrophically, prompting a monetary reform. In the main circulation there are banknotes of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Surinamese dollars issued in 2004 and 2010, as well as coins in denominations of 250, 100, 25, 10, 5 and 1 cent.
