Are they allowed to do that when they are valid elsewhere in the EU?
You might be able to pay with them if you happen to have them. But I
think it's an agreed scheme (which any retailer can do provided a debt
does not occur before payment).
I don't know about the Netherlands, but in Finland it's quite simply
the law. Those pieces of scrap metal (their nominal value is close to
a typical bank's handling fee per coin for a retailer so for them they
are essentially worthless, and there is usually nowhere to put them in
a cash register anyway) are still legal tender but using them doesn't
change the amount payable, so they must be used in multiples of 5 cent.
Only payments in actual cash may (and must, unless otherwise agreed)
be rounded.
