The "0 Euro" souvenir note program was launched in France around 2015 by Richard Faille, initially through a network of tourist sites and museums looking for an alternative to conventional souvenirs. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specifications — security paper, UV-reactive inks, microprinting — which is precisely the point: they are legally worthless but physically indistinguishable in construction from circulating currency. This particular issue marking the euro's twentieth anniversary is one of hundreds of themed releases, each assigned a unique serial number to support the collector secondary market that has grown around the format.
