BTW if you get money from an ATM in Holland, don't be surprised if you don't get any Dutch bills. Also, you can expect at least half of it in German euros, that's usually what happens to me...
Yesterday I had five € 20,- bills of which three were German. But on the bright side, the other two were Irish and Portuguese.
It was no problem to change some greenish bills into smaller denominations in the 'GWK' exchange office at Centraal Station, furthermore I joined some 'Albert Heijn' foodstores to pay a waterbottle with an €50 bill
Only a third notes I received were Dutch notes but 40% came from Germany.
