A nickel is smaller and thicker, and has a smooth edge compared to the quarter. Can you not tell the difference?
When you’re jiggling around in your pocket for it and there’s other coins in there too, it becomes harder to do.
I’m not saying there’s a 0% chance of figuring it out by touch alone, just that by touch identifying a coin (vs a not-coin) is a lot easier to do than by touch identifying what amount an individual coin is worth. (In the U.S. at least.)
Euro coins have different knurling around the edge of the coin for accessibility reasons. It has the side effect of helping a lot when trying to find the right ones blindly in your pocket.

South America too, right?
As an American, when I travel and see different shaped coins in different countries, some with holes in the middle even, just trips me out, seems so weird. We’re so used to standard round feels similar coins here.
It can easily tell what item is a coin, but how much that coin is worth is hard for it to do. (Trying to grab a nickel vs a quarter, etc.)

This guy fishes in his pockets with his hands.

Well, sure. Adding many variables usually makes anything harder to do. But that generally just means it takes a little more effort.
Are your hands horribly mangled or something? Am I bringing up something hard for you to deal with?
Hands? It’s horribly hard to fit my trunk into my pockets.

US coins too. Big, small, thick, thin, smooth, knurled.
Yeah I could definitely identify each euro coin by feel.
