The EuroSouvenir program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, permits the production of zero-denomination collector notes that replicate euro security features — including Oberthur's printing — while carrying no legal tender status anywhere. Choosing Che Guevara for a 2024 issue is a pointed commercial calculation: the image has been one of the most reproduced in the world since Alberto Korda's 1960 photograph, and it sells.
Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the series on genuine banknote stock with UV-reactive elements, which causes these pieces to pass casual security checks — a detail that has occasionally created confusion at point-of-sale.
