0 Euro - Elancourt - France miniature

EuroSouvenir notes occupy a peculiar niche — legal novelties rather than legal tender, issued under a European Central Bank framework that permits their production provided they carry face values not found in actual circulation. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of France's serious security printers with genuine currency contracts to its name, brings real banknote infrastructure to what is essentially a collector souvenir, including a proper watermark on paper that most tourist memorabilia wouldn't bother with.

Elancourt is a planned commune in the Yvelines, built largely during the 1960s and 70s expansion of the new town of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The zero-denomination format became the dominant vehicle for French local tourism notes after the series gained traction around 2015.
