AiCES — the Association of Information Centres of Slovakia — issued this souvenir zero-euro note in 2021 as a promotional collector piece for the Slovak tourist information network. Zero-euro notes have no legal tender status anywhere; they are printed to euro banknote technical specifications deliberately, which is what gives them their appeal and their price point.
Oberthur Fiduciaire has dominated the commercial zero-euro souvenir market almost entirely since the format took off around 2015, producing runs for hundreds of issuers across Europe. The security features are genuine — watermark, security thread, microprinting — which is the point.
