Bud Spencer — born Carlo Pedersoli in Naples in 1929 — was a competitive swimmer before becoming one of the most recognizable faces in Italian genre cinema. The EuroSouvenir program produces these zero-denomination novelties as licensed collector pieces, legal across the eurozone precisely because the face value renders them non-negotiable instruments. Oberthur Fiduciaire, which prints genuine currency for numerous central banks, brings real security paper and watermark production to what is ultimately a tourism product.
Spencer died in 2016, and demand for memorabilia has only grown since — particularly in Germany, where the Bud Spencer and Terence Hill films drew cult audiences for decades via dubbed television broadcasts.
