The zero euro souvenir note program, launched by the European Banknote Memory Organisation (EBMO) in 2015, produces these collector pieces under official Eurosystem licensing — they carry genuine security features including holograms and are printed by authorized currency printers, but have no legal tender status anywhere. Oberthur Fiduciaire holds a significant share of this production run out of France.
Cabo de São Vicente, the southwestern tip of continental Europe, was for centuries considered the edge of the known world. Portuguese navigators departing from nearby Sagres in the 15th century used it as their last landfall before the open Atlantic.
