What does DUIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
The original Dutch spelling of a small, low-value coin once used in the Netherlands and its former colonies, the form found in accounts of the coin itself.
A duit was worth very little, which is why the coin passed into English as doit in the set phrase not worth a doit. The coin disappeared with the currency reforms of the nineteenth century, and duit itself now appears mainly in histories of Dutch and colonial money rather than in that idiom.
