Euro Souvenir notes are a collector-oriented program launched in 2015, sold through tourist venues at face value — zero euros being entirely intentional, as they carry no legal tender status anywhere. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the series under license from the European Central Bank, which permits the euro-style format and security features on the strict condition that the denomination renders them uncashable.
The Donostia-San Sebastián issue from 2019 capitalizes on the city's dual naming — Basque first, Spanish second — a political ordering that would have been unthinkable in print during the Franco years.
