Boordgeld (board-money/ship money) consisted of metal and paper tokens issued by many Dutch shipping lines from 1946 through the mid-1970s. These tokens were used because of post war restrictions on foreign exchange and also to have a uniform system of currency because of the problems of many non-Dutch crew members trying to convert foreign currency tendered by passengers. On boarding passengers exchanged their currency for the ship board tokens (Boordgeld) which were the only form of currency accepted on board Dutch ships. Paper tokens were issued initially but later withdrawn and replaced by the metallic tokens.
