Definition of 'Suriname Guilders'
The official currency of Suriname until 2004, when it was replaced by the Suriname dollar. Each Suriname dollar replaced 1,000 Suriname guilders. The coins that represented fractions of one guilder remained in use, but instead represented the same fraction of one Suriname dollar. Suriname suffers from problems with inflation, excessive government spending, tax increases and currency devaluation.
