Comments

Zero-euro souvenir notes have been issued across Europe since 2015 under a scheme that exploits a legal quirk: because they carry no monetary value, they fall outside the ECB's currency regulations while still replicating the visual format of legal tender. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these under commercial contract with regional tourism operators, not central bank mandate. Inari, a municipality in Finnish Lapland, is one of the more geographically remote subjects in the series — well above the Arctic Circle, best known as the administrative center of the Sámi homeland region.
