The 0 Euro souvenir note series launched in 2015 as a joint project between EuroBilletCollection and the European Central Bank's legal framework, which permits the production of denominated-looking notes provided they cannot be confused with genuine currency. The ECB's zero-denomination designation is what makes these legal — not a loophole, a deliberate mechanism. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to full security-note specification, including intaglio, which is an unusual commitment of technology for an item with no monetary function.
Amsterdam's 750th anniversary falls in 2025, marking the traditional date of 1275 when Count Floris V granted the settlement on the Amstel river a toll exemption — the earliest surviving document linking a community to that location.
