those territories. Curaçao and Sint Maarten intended to replace the currency, thus they ceased production of the currency, but , these territories still use the Antillean guilder. Since 2018 banknotes and coins now require replacement and there are only two years of the Antilles guilder physical currency remaining. There has been a possibility that the islands could opt for the euro instead or possibly the US dollar. In November 2019, Curaçao Finance Minister Kenneth Gijsbertha confirmed the introduction of the Caribbean guilder, and the Central Bank announced a year later. By August 2021, it was reported that the new guilder was expected to be launched in either 2023 or 2024. In September 2022, however, CBCS aimed to introduce the guilder in 2024. Coins In 1794, silver coins were issued for use in the Dutch West Indies in denominations of 2 stuiver, , 1 and 3 guilders. After the reintroduction of the Dutch guilder in 1828, some 1-guilder coins were cut into quarters and stamped with a "C" in 1838 to produce -guilder coins. In 1900 and 1901, silver and -guilder coins were introduced which circulated alongside Dutch coins. Following the German occupation of the Netherlands and the separation of the Netherlands Antillean currency from the Dutch, a bronze 1-cent coin was introduced in 1942, followed by a cupro-nickel 5-cent coin in 1943. Bronze cent and silver 1 and guilders were introduced in 1944. The coinage of 1941–44 was minted in the United States and carries "P" or "D" mintmarks, and for most denominations a small palm tree. This money was also intended for use in Suriname. The alternate Dutch names for some of these coins are: 5 cent—stuiver; 10 cent—dubbeltje; 25 cent—kwartje; and guilders—rijksdaalder. From 1952, the name "Nederlandse Antillen" appeared on the coins. In 1970, nickel replaced silver, although the -guilder coin was not reintroduced until 1978. Aluminium 1 and cents were introduced in 1979. In 1989, aluminium 1 and 5 cents, nickel-bonded-steel 10 and 25 cents, and aureate-steel 50 cents, 1 and guilders were introduced. Aureate-steel 5-guilder coins followed in 1998. Banknotes In 1892, the Curaçaosche Bank introduced notes in denominations of 25 and 50 cents, 1 and guilders. This was the only issue of the cent denominations. Notes for 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 guilders followed in 1900. The 1 and guilder notes were suspended after 1920 but reintroduced by the government in 1942
