In Dutch that would mean "I have five euro coins in my bag" (or
possibly "pocket", I'm not a native speaker of German either).
Heb je twee gulden? Do you have two guilders?
Ja, maar alleen in kwartjes. Yes, but it's all in quarters.
This is about the amount of money, not the actual physical coins. If
you want the exact coins (perhaps to work a slot machine) you have to
say
Heb je twee guldens? Do you have two guilder coins?
