What does GULDEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
The former basic monetary unit of the Netherlands, equal to 100 cents, also known as the guilder, and still used as the currency name in Suriname.
Before the euro replaced it, the gulden was the everyday currency of the Netherlands and appeared on coins and banknotes for centuries. The same word, borrowed directly from Dutch, is the standard English name for the currency and survives today as the unit still used in Suriname. Older Austrian and German currencies carried a related name, though gulden in current English usually points specifically to the Dutch guilder.
