| Comments |
The EFBC souvenir zero-euro program has been running long enough to develop its own collecting sub-market, with certain short-run subjects commanding multiples of face — or rather, multiples of nothing. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to euro-series security standards: genuine intaglio, UV-reactive inks, and the EURion constellation, which means automated cash-handling equipment occasionally accepts them. That last detail has caused documented headaches in vending machines across several member states.
The Alice subject joins a crowded field of licensed pop-culture releases in the 2024–2025 run. Whether Carroll's 1865 source material or a specific screen adaptation is being licensed here is worth confirming before cataloging the rights holder.
