Niko Trimmel<p>Empfehlenswert, aber sehr umfassend ist ein Besuch im War Museum in Fort St. Elmo.

At the end of March this year, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, autonomous countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will introduce their own currency: The Caribbean Guilder: coinbooks.org/v28/esylum_v28n0

This won't be new news to those who closely read my post on the 2010 Netherlands Antilles 10 Cents, as the new currency got a mention there as well: coinofnote.com/2010-netherland
