The Netherlands was one of the EU's smaller members, with a population of 15
million, but also one of its most enthusiastic. From the outset it embraced the euro, and planned a quicker
changeover to the currency than any other country, withdrawing the guilder four weeks into 2002. The country
which hosted the negotiations for the Maastricht and Amsterdam treaties, benefited from a weak euro.
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.
Like in Finland, the Dutch have decided not to issue one and two cent coins anymore starting from September 1,
2004. The coins remain legal tender, but are no longer issued in 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".
With the National side up, the Dutch 2 Euro coin depicts the following on its side ("God is with us"):
