Where can you get new 'circulation' coins in The Netherlands?

Just been looking into where I can find new general circulation coins in Holland as I'm due to go over there for business in a few months.  It seems that, unless you are lucky enough to spot new coins in a shop till somewhere and ask for them in your change, you have almost no chance of finding them.  

The banks only give coins to people with an account, the machines will only issue coins or accept coins from someone with an account, the post office only issues coins from the till as loose change for a purchase, and apparently a lot of shops somewhat frown upon people who want to exchange coins, almost as if they can't readily get them themselves.   Is it possible to purchase coin rolls there, or are these restricted to account holders only too?

Any suggestions?  Why?

Go to a street shop, buy

ice cream

herrings

coffee

tea

or whatever….

Have fun

Definitely the herring - out to the market, dip them in onion, head back and straight down (Yum, yum).  

Wary of the coffee shops though.

Do the “vending machine trick” where you simply just put any denomination in and press reject this works only for 5 Cents to €1 coins because they reject 1 and 2 cent coins while for €2s they are swilled and you get two €1s or 4 50 cents instead.  I’ve done this in a few service stations in France and Belgium I’m not sure about the Netherlands because I was there for like 5 hours.

A alternative is to always ask for you change to be all in coins because I’ve done that and have wielded decent results. 

If you like I can give you about 2kg of 1 and 2 euro-cent coins free, a lot of them is unc.
We have to make an apointment where to meet.
