The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through licensed distributors across Europe, has no face value, no legal tender status, and no monetary function whatsoever — yet Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to the same security specifications as circulating currency, including intaglio printing and embedded security threads. The contradiction is the entire point: collectibility engineered through scarcity and official-looking production values.
This particular issue marks Amsterdam's 750th anniversary, tracing the city's founding to roughly 1275, when a toll privilege granted by Count Floris V first documented the settlement at the Amstel dam.
