| Comments |
The EuroSouvenir programme — sanctioned by the European Central Bank — permits licensed printers to produce legal-format zero-denomination notes for the tourist and collector market. Oberthur Fiduciaire holds one of the few authorised contracts for this production, which accounts for the genuine security paper and correct physical specification. The choice of Che Guevara for a 2022 issue is commercially driven but not without friction: several EU member states have periodically objected to the programme being used to merchandise figures whose politics sit awkwardly against European institutional branding.
