Here in the middle of Germany (Göttingen and Hildesheim) the new Dutch 5 Cent coins are very common, quite a everyday find.
I also would not consider the 10 and 20 Cent coins to be rare, even though I don't get them every month.
Also the 2 Euro coins are not too difficult to find if you are willing to search a few rolls from your bank.
On the other hand side the 50 Cent and 1 Euro coins are some of the rarest out there. I only had 50 Cent once while I am still waiting to find a 1 Euro coins in my change or one of the few coin rolls I search for rare coins sometimes.
Since the 1 and 2 Cent coins with the portrait of king Willem Alexander don't even officially circulate I don't expect to find them. A friend of mine who lives near the Dutch border found a 2015 2 Cent coin once.

Somehow the new Belgian coins are even harder to find. Since 2014 I only had about twenty of them, about half of them 50 Cent coins. The rest were 5 Cent coins plus two times 10 Cent.
So the 1, 2, 20 Cent, 1 and 2 Euro are still missing. While I can totally understand why haven't received the 1 Euro yet, the rest of the coins should not be too hard to find (I also have been in Brussels twice since 2014 but wasn't abled to find any other coins except 5 and 50 cent)

Also the newer Spanish 1 and 2 Euro coins depicting king Felipe have crossed my way a few times. While it is no miracle that I already found dozens of 1 Euro coins I was quite surprised that already 3 two Euro coins have found their way from my purse in my collection yet.
