And, still, I think about the qedet weight. Where 10 qedet equal a deben in the new kingdom, about about 1550-1069 BC or about 3560 to 3080 years ago, before the founding of rome, which is 2764 yeras ago. Way before. :).

In the Netherlands, both gold and silver gulden coins were issued. In 1581, the silver gulden was established as the currency of the United Netherlands by the Estates-General.[1] It was divided into 20 stuiver, each of 8 duit or 16 penning. At various times, other coins derived from the guilder emerged. Among them were the daalder of 1½ gulden (30 stuiver), therijksdaalder (silver ducat) of 2½ gulden (50 stuiver) and the ducaton (silver rider) of 3 gulden (60 stuiver). The name daalder was derived from the German thaler.
