Told ya 
Ahh, you mean the "round the world".... 
Let's see:
"a coin used to pay consumptions with - So you pay with money and you'll get coins in return: 1 beer, 1 coin / 1 malt, 4 coins etc."
I wrote that down quick - I'm Dutch so please forgive.
A coin, usually plastic, with which for instance you can pay a beer with. At the entrance of a fair, a party or whatever you hand over say a tenner of real money and get plastic coins in return. So the stuff you'll pay with inside will only be this plastic stuff . . . Tokens it is. The hotelguy told me so when handing over tokens for the sauna . . .
Gawd is it really that bad . . .

Ah we're only kidding Dinkel.
What's that above mind you ? had you had a few hits off your bong pipe when you wrote it ?
At least I tried to learn Dutch, worked in A'Dam and Leuven, waste of time. Nearly everyone who speaks Dutch speaks very good English and even if you try Dutch they just speak back in English. Couple of scenarios..
Me 'Een Jupiler alstublieft'
Waiter '
' Me 'Een Jupiler alstublieft'
Waiter 'Ah you want a Jupiler, ah right OK,' or
Me 'Waar is het toilet ?' (Best Dutch accent)
Girl 'Oh it's up the stairs and first on the right'
Me
Still I know all the colours, I used to work in a place called Yellow !
