The 25-cents coin is known as a kwartje. The kwartje was used in telephones and vending machines, so the expression "het kwartje is gevallen" (the quarter has dropped) came into being, meaning that some kind of understanding was achieved.

The 5-cent coin is known as a stuiver in the Netherlands. When I was very young my grandmother gave me a stuiver. I was very happy, because it was shiny and I never saw a stuiver before and I liked the design with the little leaves above the 5. Old Dutch coins on the road to the Geldmuseum (Money Museum).
