The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered by the European Banknote Memory Organisation (EBMO), has produced thousands of regional and tourist issues since launching in 2015. These notes are legal curiosities — printed to the same security specifications as genuine euro banknotes, including the Oberthur substrate and embedded features, yet assigned no monetary value and issued purely as collectibles. The issuing "authority" is effectively a commercial license holder rather than a central bank.
The Flensburg issue draws interest partly from the city's unusual position directly on the German-Danish border — a territory that changed hands after the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite.
