In 1968 kwam er een nieuw biljet van tien gulden in omloop. Dit keer niet met een filosofische denker, maar met een schilder genaamd Frans Hals. Het biljet is in tegenstelling tot het tientje met Hugo de Groot uit 1953 in felblauwe tinten ontworpen. Veel mensen zullen het biljet dan ook herkennen aan zowel de personage van Frans Hals als de felle blauwe kleur die het heeft.

On June 14, 1976, a new fiver put into circulation. This fiver may have had a similar subject matter to the earlier paper fiver and a portrait of Vondel, but the style was more similar to the rest of Oxenaar's heirloom series. Joost van den Vondel was a seventeenth-century playwright and poet and over the years has also received nicknames such as "the Cologne swan" or the "prince of poets.

In December 1966 and January 1967, something special was going on in the Netherlands. For the first time, the Nederlandsche Bank had issued a bank bill of five guilders issued (the only other fives were from the Ministry of Finance, aka silver coupons mentioned). The bill in question, of course, was the bill from five guilders Vondel 1, Oxenaar's first design and thus obviously revolutionary and abstract in design.

The twenty-five guilder bill with Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck was part of the daily business until May 1, 1995. The 25 guilder bill, also known colloquially as the "yellow note," has a picture of composer and organist Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck on the front. This bill was first put into circulation on December 15, 1972 and circulated simultaneously with its predecessor, the twenty-five guilder bill of Huygens.
