0 Euro - Berlin Alexanderplatz

The zero-euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille's company EuroSouvenir, exploiting a legal quirk that allows private entities to produce euro-denominated notes provided they carry no monetary value and therefore fall outside the European Central Bank's exclusive right of issue. Oberthur Fiduciaire — one of the ECB's own contracted security printers — produces them, which means the anti-counterfeiting features on a souvenir note are often comparable to those on circulating currency.

The Berlin Alexanderplatz edition was among hundreds of tourist-site issues printed for the German market. Collector demand has made certain low-print-run city editions surprisingly hard to find at face retail price.
