The EuroSouvenir program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, requires that zero-denomination notes comply with strict anti-counterfeiting conditions — they must be visually distinct from legal tender but use genuine security printing. Oberthur Fiduciaire produces these on the same equipment used for actual currency, which is why the paper and print quality consistently exceed what a souvenir strictly requires.
BMW's Munich museum began stocking these in 2023 as part of the broader German automotive tourism market for zero-euro notes, a category that has become quietly competitive among collectors tracking regional and institutional variants.
