Dutch euro coins currently use two designs byErwin Olaf, both of which feature a portrait ofKing Willem-Alexander of theNetherlands. The new designs began circulating in 2014.[1] Dutch Euro coins minted from 1999 to 2013 feature a portrait ofQueen Beatrix designed byBruno Ninaber van Eyben. All coins share the12 stars of the EU and the year of imprint in their design.
As is the case inFinland, most Dutch shops have elected not to issue one and two cent coins starting on 1 September 2004, though the coins remain legal tender. Sums are rounded to the nearest five cents; sums ending in 1, 2, 6 or 7 cents are rounded down, and those ending in 3, 4, 8 or 9 cents 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".

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:
The first series of the Dutch euro coins did not comply with this recommendation. No efforts were made to amend these coins to make them compliant.
Queen Beatrix abdicated on 30 April 2013, so the design of the coins was changed for her heir, KingWillem-Alexander of the Netherlands. The new coins were made to be in accordance with this recommendation.The Royal Dutch Mint presented the new design to the public on 31 October 2013 and began releasing them into circulation in early 2014 (see[1]).Production of the new coins commenced on 22 January 2014. The first coins were released into circulation the next day.[1]
