Souvenir Banknote Europe launched its licensed 0 Euro collector series in 2015 in partnership with the Banque de France, producing notes on genuine banknote paper through Oberthur Fiduciaire — the same security printer responsible for a significant portion of euro production. The series has no legal tender status anywhere but deliberately mirrors euro specifications closely enough to pass casual inspection, which prompted some early retail confusion across European tourist markets.
This particular issue commemorates Stefania Liberakakis's 2021 Eurovision entry for Greece, "Last Dance." Eurovision-themed 0 Euro notes are among the faster-moving issues in the SBE catalog, driven by fan collector demand rather than numismatic interest.
