A small Dutch coin of little value, historically used in the Netherlands and its colonies, or any small amount of money.
From Middle Dutch 'duit,' possibly derived from a place name or from Afrikaans influences. The coin was so small and worthless that 'duit' became slang for an insignificant amount.
The duit was so worthless that '30 duiten' became a proverbial expression for something truly trivial—kind of like how Americans might say 'not worth a wooden nickel.'
