Festyland is a small amusement park outside Caen in Normandy, and this 2017 zero-euro note is part of the souvenir series launched by Euro Banknote Memory — a private French company that licensed the format from the European Central Bank and contracted Oberthur Fiduciaire in Rennes to produce the notes. Oberthur prints actual circulating currency for numerous central banks, which means the physical security substrate, intaglio printing, and embedded strip on these souvenirs are functionally identical to genuine euro production. They are legal tender in theory but worth nothing as currency by design.
The series became an unexpected secondary market phenomenon — early regional issues now trade above face value among collectors, though Festyland's edition was produced in sufficient quantity to keep premiums modest.
