Many in Curaçao still have ANG paper notes and coins lying around — in drawers, jars, or wallets — with no idea what to do with them as we switch to the new XCG currency. Banks are phasing them out, and soon they’ll be worthless.
💡 But there’s a better way.
Rotary Club Curaçao together with Rotary Club Willemstad launched Cash for Care / Kèsh pa Kuido — a creative solution that turns your unused money into meaningful support for local charities.
🎨 Starting June 1, you’ll find donation columns across the island — in malls, banks, and hardware stores — made from repurposed gas cylinders and ready to receive your old guilders.
❤️ Don’t let your coins and notes go to waste — give them new life and help someone in need.
Together with Rotary Club Willemstad, Rotary Club Curaçao, and 7.1 Giovanni Abath, we proudly unveiled the first three donation columns for old Curaçao money!💛
As Curaçao transitions from the ANG to the XCG, we’re offering our community a meaningful alternative: donate your old paper and coin guilders to support local charities. 💸➡️❤️
Each column, creatively designed by Giovanni Abath using repurposed Curgas gas cylinders, will soon appear across the island — starting June 1 — in malls, banks, hardware stores, and more.
Every donation counts. Let your old money create new opportunities.
💛 Your old “Nafjes” are making a difference!
Thanks to donations collected through Rotary’s Cash for Care project, the students of Kolegio San Dominico in Montagne are now enjoying a beautiful new playground set — the very first project funded by your contributions! 🎠✨
Every Antillean guilder donated helps Rotary support more community initiatives across Curaçao. 👉 Read the full story
From Friday, October 3 to Sunday, October 12, 2025, Curaçao will welcome the Jostiband.
Thanks to initiatives from the island, it has become possible for the Jostiband to make an inspiring musical and educational visit to Curaçao.
With the project “Curaçao meets Jostiband”, the orchestra shows that people with intellectual disabilities are often capable of much more than many think—and that making music is above all about joy, connection, and possibilities.
