The zero-euro souvenir note is a format introduced commercially around 2015, with Oberthur Fiduciaire holding a near-monopoly on legitimate production — the company prints to European Central Bank security specifications, including intaglio printing and the EURion constellation, which technically makes these notes machine-readable as currency despite carrying no face value. Volksbank Chemnitz's tie-in with the Bundesliga Golf Cup is the kind of regional promotional issue that has flooded the collector market since the format took off in Germany around 2017–2018.
Faille's signature as C.E.O. of Oberthur appears on most of the firm's souvenir output from this period.
