The "zero euro" souvenir note program launched in 2015 under the Union Européenne des Billets de Souvenir, with Oberthur Fiduciaire producing the series under license from the ECB — which, unusually, granted permission for private entities to reproduce euro-format notes provided they carried a face value of zero and could therefore never be tendered as legal currency. Château de Murol, a 12th-century volcanic-stone fortress in the Puy-de-Dôme, was among the earliest tourist sites to issue one.
Oberthur applied genuine banknote-grade security features including a hologram strip, making these arguably more technically sophisticated than many circulating notes worldwide.
