edition ING Night quarter: A round penny was almost indistinguishable from a quarter in the dark, and was more often issued as 25 cents. That is why a square penny was introduced in 1913, so that mistakes could not be made. Lucky Coin: Many Dutch people had a hard time in the crisis years. But no matter how poor people were, if you had a 1/2 cent. In your pocket, you had the idea that you were not without money, and therefore not without luck. Gas coin: In the past, the gas meter was fed with special tokens, which cost as much as 6 cents. Except for a notch, it was identical to a 2 1/2 ct. Piece. For lack of money, many people provided the 2 1/2 ct. Manually with a notch, so that it could be cooked cheaply.
