The duit (pronounced [ˈdœyt]) (plural: duiten; English: doit[1]) was an old low-value Dutch copper coin.[2] Struck in the 17th and 18th centuries[3] in the territory of the Dutch Republic, it became an international currency.[4][5] It had the value of 1/8 stuiver.[4]
The earliest duit which we have seen is of 1614 ; and there is also a separate colonial series down at least to 1794.
