To prevent smuggling, the Dutch East India company ordered special coins with the VOC monogram on it. Only those pieces were valid in Indonesia. It was once used in the Americas while under Dutch rule. The name of the coin was preserved for a long time in the 'fourduitcoin', because it was worth 4 duiten = half a stuiver.
