The zero euro souvenir note program, administered by the Union Européenne des Jeunes Magistrats under the Euro Souvenir brand, launched in 2015 as a legal-tender-adjacent novelty — technically face-valued at zero, which neatly sidesteps counterfeiting law while still incorporating genuine security features. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to banknote specification, including intaglio printing and UV-reactive elements, which is precisely what drives collector demand: the production standards are real even if the monetary function is not.
Argenteuil, a commune in Val-d'Oise north of Paris, is best known to art historians as the site where Monet painted his Seine river series in the 1870s.
