| Comments |
The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered through Oberthur Fiduciaire and distributed via licensed retailers across French territories and tourist sites, has produced well over a thousand distinct designs since its 2015 launch. These notes carry legal-tender denomination text but no actual monetary value — a deliberate quirk that satisfies EU regulations while keeping them firmly in the collectibles market. Réunion's entry for the Piton de la Fournaise is one of the more geologically credible subjects in the series: the shield volcano is among the most active on the planet, with significant eruptions recorded as recently as 2024.
