[ELI5] How do coins enter circulation?

We generally can’t withdraw money from ATMs or banks in the form of coins. How do retail businesses and other institutions get coins to give as change to their customers?
Do people specifically withdraw money as coins?

As a business, you can call a bank and request a withdrawal of say £100 from your business account. And then you can further specify in what denominations or in coins, IE so many in 2/1/.50/.20/.10/.05/.02/.01 etc which you would use for change in your store.

When you turn up they count out the coins etc into coin rolls and then give them to you in a sack for you to take away
