The zero euro souvenir note program was launched by the Paris-based company EuroSouvenir in 2015, licensing the euro banknote format from the European Central Bank for collector-market use. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the entire series in France to genuine security-paper specifications — watermarks, security threads, UV-reactive inks — which is part of the appeal, though these notes have no legal tender status anywhere.
De Amsterdamse Munt is the old mint building on the Muntplein in Amsterdam, active as a coin-striking facility from the mid-seventeenth century. The souvenir note was sold on-site as a tourist keepsake.
