| Comments |
Zero-euro souvenir notes have been marketed across Europe since 2015, produced by Oberthur Fiduciaire under license and sold as collectibles rather than tendered as currency — they carry no legal tender status anywhere. The Réunion issue joins a sprawling catalog of regional and tourist-themed editions that now number in the thousands, each assigned a unique serial prefix to satisfy collector demand for limited variants. The UNESCO World Heritage designation of Réunion's pitons, cirques, and remparts in 2010 is almost certainly the hook that made this particular subject commercially viable.
