From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dutch euro coins have two designs by Bruno Ninaber van Eyben, both
of which feature a portrait or effigy of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. All coins
share the 12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint
in their design.
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."
Since Dutch low denominations euro coins place the indication of
the member's name instead of the 12 stars of the union, a new
design on the Dutch euro coins is expected in the near future to
comply with these new guidelines, although nothing officially have
been announced yet.[2]
