Thestuiver[ˈstœyvər] was acoin used in theNetherlands, worth1⁄20 of aguilder (16penning or 8duit, later 5 cents). It was also minted on theLower Rhine region and theDutch colonies. The word can still refer to the5 euro cent coin, which has almost exactly the same diameter and colour despite being over twice the value of the older coin.
TheStüber emerged from thevierlander ("coin of four provinces"), thatPhilip III of Burgundy had minted from 1434 as a common denomination forBrabant,Flanders,Holland and theHainault (Hennegau) and which had a value of1⁄20Rhenishgulden. It corresponded to 3 BrabantPlakken, 2 FlemishGroten, 16 Dutchpfennigs or 1Artesianschilling.[1] The name "stuiver" derives from the Dutchstuiven ("flying sparks"), since on early Flemishstuivers "spark-producingflints of theCollar of the Golden Fleece" were depicted.Twenty stuivers equalled aDutch Guilder. It circulated until theNapoleonic Wars. In 1818 the Netherlands decimalised its guilder into 100 cents. Two stuivers equalled adubbeltje - the ten-cent coin.[2][3]After the decimalisation of Dutch currency, the name "stuiver" was preserved as a nickname for the five-cent coin until the introduction of theeuro in 2002.[4]The word can still refer to the5 euro cent coin, which has almost exactly the same diameter and colour despite being over twice the value of the older coin.[5][6][7]

TheStüber (abbreviation:stbr.) orStüver was a smallgroschen coin that was minted in north-west Germany, especially in the territories of today'sNorth Rhine-Westphalia and in theCounty of East Frisia roughly from the end of the 15th century to the early 19th century.
On theLower Rhine, these coins mostly had a value of1+1⁄3albus or 16hellers, inCleves, 21hellers. OneRechnungstaler corresponded to 60Stüber.[8]
From 1660, theDutch East India Company (VOC) began to strike copper stuiver coins for local use inDutch Ceylon. At first, the coins were simply stamped on both sides with their denomination but from 1783, the VOC monogram and date were added. The coins were minted atColombo,Jaffna,Galle andTrincomalee. These coins were issued till British occupation in 1796.Thestiver (Sinhala:තුට්ටුව) was a currency denomination (1⁄48Ceylonese rixdollar) in use across the 18th and 19th century Sri Lanka and Caribbean, especially among the Dutch,Danish, andSwedish islands. It was also a denomination that formed part of the currency system ofDemerara-Essequibo (laterBritish Guiana, nowGuyana).In the British colonies, a stiver had a value oftwopence.[9]The currency was also mentioned in the famous poem byRobert Browning, ThePied Piper ofHamelin: "With you, don't think I'll bate [abate, reduce my demands by] a stiver! And folks who put me in a passion may find me pipe after another fashion."
The nameStüber was also considered for a coin that would have been a sub-division of theAustrian Schilling introduced in 1924; In the end, however, the nameGroschen was chosen.[10]
