The zero euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille, who recognized a gap in the tourist collectibles market and secured authorization from the European Central Bank — which has no objection to denominations it will never have to honor. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the entire series using genuine banknote security features: intaglio printing, UV-reactive elements, a metallic strip. The ECB okayed it precisely because no monetary obligation attaches to a zero.
The Berlin Dom edition joined a catalog that by 2019 had grown to several hundred individual tourist-site issues across Europe, each sold at the attraction itself for a few euros.
