| Comments |
EuroSouvenir notes are legal tender in the technical sense — the European Central Bank tolerates them as collector items with a face value of zero, meaning they satisfy no debt and circulate nowhere. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine euro security standards regardless, with the same substrate and intaglio work used on actual currency. Hrad Šariš, a ruined 13th-century fortress above Veľký Šariš in northeastern Slovakia, was largely abandoned after a fire in 1660 and never rebuilt.
