The 0 Euro souvenir note program was formalized around 2015, with Oberthur Fiduciaire contracted to produce notes meeting genuine euro security specifications — including correct paper, intaglio printing, and UV-reactive features — despite carrying no legal tender value whatsoever. The paradox is intentional: the notes are legally compliant in format while being monetarily inert, which sidesteps counterfeiting law concerns.
ZEAM — Zero Euro And More — operates as the licensing body coordinating issuance rights across European tourist sites. R. Faille's signature appearing on a souvenir note for a Belgian landmark printed in France captures the administrative oddity of this entire category.
