Euro Souvenir notes are a licensed novelty series sold at tourist sites across Europe, authorized under an agreement with the European Central Bank that permits the use of euro-style designs provided the notes carry a zero denomination — legally ensuring they cannot circulate as currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the major security printers behind genuine euro banknotes, produces the series, which lends these pieces a level of technical finish far above typical tourist ephemera.
The Asturias edition's tagline — "Lo mires por donde lo mires," roughly "however you look at it" — is a well-worn Asturian promotional phrase. Collectors typically acquire these at point of sale; used examples showing handling wear are actually the less common find.
