Duit

The duit (pronounced [ˈdœyt]) (plural: duiten; English: doit) was an old low-value Dutch copper coin. Struck in the 17th and 18th centuries in the territory of the Dutch Republic, it became an international currency. It had the value of 1/8 stuiver.

Not to be confused with the Duit language, nor with "Duits", the Dutch word for "German".
