The Caribbean guilder (code: XCG;^[1] abbreviation: Cg; Dutch: Caribische gulden; Papiamento: florin karibense) is a currency of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, two constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is divided into 100 cents (Papiamento: sèn). Introduced on 31 March 2025, it co-circulates alongside its predecessor, the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG), which will cease to be legal tender on 1 July 2025.^[2]

In November 2020, it was announced that the Caribbean guilder would come into circulation the following year,^[3] but it was delayed several times. The cost of the design and production of the Caribbean guilder will be approximately 15 million ANG and cash payments in ANG will be accepted for three months following the introduction of the new currency.^[1] ANG will be exchangeable at par at commercial banks for the new currency for one year following introduction, and thereafter for 29 years at the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
