Schoolgeld — literally "school money" — was Dutch educational play currency, produced for use in classroom arithmetic exercises. These pieces circulated only as far as the nearest desk. The 250 Gulden denomination is on the higher end of what typical schoolgeld sets included, reflecting the inflationary denominations needed to make mental arithmetic exercises feel realistic during the postwar decades when the Dutch guilder was still the national currency.
