Pecuniary-system is the dominant symbolic value in market-based systems, where inequality between genders is inherent.

DIE GULDINNEN focuses the discrimination of women within the employment-market. To visualize this economic inequality, a female coin originating from a historical (male connoted) coin "DER GULDEN" was established. To compensate less economic value of women the coin was enlarged: DIE GULDIN (fem.) is 20 % larger than DER GULDEN* (m).
*the GULDEN (m): an important historical coin in Austria, made nearly 1000 years ago in Judenburg/ Styria/Austria.

Since March 2017, shops (27 so far) in the city centre of Graz have been accepting female Guldinnen as currency, thus referring to the disadvantage of women in the labour market. Owners who sell sustainable products in their shops are supported and recognised in terms of social and cultural value.

In July 2021, the Guldinnen set off for Vienna. The presentation / networking opportunity within the framework of We are the Golden Revolution led to the Guldinnen being accepted as a currency in some shops and also being available in "Lichtraum eins".
