Eurosouvenirs zero-euro notes occupy a peculiar niche — legal-tender denominations printed by licensed security printers, issued at face value of nothing, and sold for several euros each. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the major European security printing houses, has produced the bulk of the series under license from the European Central Bank, which permits the format provided genuine euro security features are incorporated. The notes pass UV and pen tests precisely because they have to.
Collector demand has driven several hundred distinct German regional and tourism subjects since the format launched around 2015.
