Oberthur Fiduciaire printed the entire Eurosouvenirs 0 Euro series under licensing arrangements that gave each collector note full Euro-format security features — including a serial number, holographic strip, and UV-reactive elements — despite carrying no legal tender value anywhere. The model was commercially clever: museums and tourist sites paid for the print runs, recouping costs through souvenir sales at a substantial markup over face value of precisely nothing.
Bochum Dahlhausen houses one of the largest operational steam locomotive collections in Germany, which gives this particular issue more legitimate railway heritage behind it than most attraction-branded souvenirs can claim.
