The 0 Euro souvenir note program launched in France in 2015 as a private commercial initiative — legal tender for exactly nothing, but printed to full European Central Bank security specifications by Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the continent's major security printers. Chenonceau was among the first sites to participate, which gave the inaugural run a certain collector momentum that later entries in the series couldn't replicate.
UEAM (Union Européenne des Acquéreurs de Monnaies) holds the licensing arrangement that makes the program possible. Faille's signature appears as a formality of that structure, not as any monetary authority.
