Dutch euro coins

Dutch euro coins have two designs by Erwin Olaf, both of which feature a portrait of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. They are minted since 2014.[1] All coins share the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint in their design.

The Dutch euro coins with the portrait of Queen Beatrix were designed by Bruno Ninaber van Eyben and were minted from 1999 to 2013.

As in Finland, most of the Dutch shops have decided not to issue one and two cent coins starting from September 1, 2004. The coins remain legal tender, but are no longer issued in most of the shops. Sums are rounded to the nearest €0.05; hence sums ending in €0.01, €0.02, €0.06 or €0.07 are rounded down, and those ending in €0.03, €0.04, €0.08 or €0.09 are rounded up. The rounding is applied to the grand total only, while individual prices are still shown and summed up with €0.01 precision. This method is known as "Swedish rounding".

Future changes to national sides

The Commission of the European Communities issued a recommendation on 19 December 2008, a common guideline for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation. One section of this recommendation stipulates that:

Article 4. Design of the national sides:
"The national side of the euro coins intended for circulation should bear the 12 European stars that should fully surround the national design, including the year mark and the indication of the issuing Member State's name. The European stars should be depicted as on the European flag."

Dutch euro coins do not currently comply with this recommendation.

King Willem Alexander

Queen Beatrix abdicated on 30 April 2013, so the design of the coins will be changed for her heir, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. The new coins will have to be in accordance with this recommendation. The Royal Dutch Mint presented the new design to the public on 31 October 2013 and is to start releasing them into circulation in early 2014.(see [1]). Production of the new coins will commence on 22 January 2014. The first coins will be released into circulation the next day.[1]
