The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through the EuroSouvenir licensing scheme, operates entirely outside the European Central Bank's monetary framework — these are legal-format collectibles, not currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire produces them to the same security specifications as circulating banknotes, including embedded security threads and UV-reactive inks, which is part of the collector appeal.
Gijón, the Asturian port city on the Cantabrian coast, joined a catalog that by 2021 numbered well over a thousand regional and institutional subjects across Europe. The notes are sold at face value — zero — plus a retail premium that typically runs between three and five euros per piece.
