Surinamese Guilder (SRG): Overview and History
The Surinamese guilder (SRG) was the currency of Suriname from 1940 until 2004, when it was replaced by the Surinamese dollar (SRD) at a rate of 1 SRD = 1,000 SRG. The guilder was subdivided into 100 cents. Its ISO 4217 code was SRG.
Throughout its history, the Surinamese guilder underwent several changes, including pegs to the Dutch guilder and later a floating exchange rate. The currency was issued by the Central Bank of Suriname (Centrale Bank van Suriname).
Today, the Surinamese guilder is obsolete, but it remains of historical interest to collectors and those studying Suriname's economic development. For current exchange rates, please refer to the Surinamese dollar (SRD).
