| Comments |
Schoolgeld — literally "school money" — was produced in the Netherlands as educational play currency, used in primary classroom exercises to teach children basic arithmetic and the handling of money. The gulden denominations mirror the real Nederlandse Bank notes of the postwar period, giving the sets a recognizable visual grammar without being legal tender in any sense.
Not collectible for rarity — these were printed in large quantities and treated as disposable teaching aids. Interest tends to be pedagogical or nostalgic rather than numismatic.
