Edition: 15,223 In 1951, when Dutch troops first had to practice abroad for NATO, the foreign exchange regulations were still very strict. Every soldier then received 5 guilders in plastic money for his purchases in the canteen. These coins could be exchanged afterwards. This has happened almost completely, so they have become quite rare. They were used in the period 1951-1954.

In 1951 toen Nederlandse troepen voor het eerst voor de NATO in het buitenland moesten oefenen, waren de deviezen-bepalingen nog zeer streng. Iedere militair kreeg toen 5 gulden in plastic geld mee voor zijn aankopen in de kantine. Deze muntstukjes konden na afloop weer ingewisseld worden. Dit is vrijwel volledig gebeurd, zodat ze vrij zeldzaam zijn geworden. In de periode 1951-1954 zijn ze gebruikt.
