The duit was a Dutch coin worth 2 penning, with 8 duit equal to one stuiver and 160 duit equal to one gulden. It was once used in the Americas while under Dutch rule.
The name of the coin was preserved for a long time in the 'fourduitcoin' (or plak), because it was the biggest bronze coin of its time and it was worth half a stuiver (or 2,5 cent).
