You can access this two ways since it is public…

class NoSuchRequestHandler implements Handler{
    public static $TYPE  = 2001;
    public static $VER   = 0;

    public function getType(){
        return self::$TYPE;  //not the "$" you were missing.  
    }

    public function getVersion(){
        return self::$VER;
    }
}

echo NoSuchRequestHandler::$TYPE; //outside of the class.
