The Dutch did not buy New York; they bought Manhattan Island, which is only a portion of the modern city of New York.

The price was said to have been $24 and a lot of beads. However, since the Dutch did not use dollars, which were created several hundred years later, that can only be an estimate of the value of the Dutch currency they did use.

New Jersey was originally part of the Dutch New Netherland colony.
