The Euro Souvenir program, launched in 2017, occupies an odd corner of notaphily — these notes are legal tender in no jurisdiction, yet they are printed to full security specifications by Oberthur Fiduciaire, the same contractor behind genuine euro banknotes for several member states. The hologram strip is not decorative; it meets the program's deliberate policy of matching production standards to discourage counterfeit "souvenirs" of the souvenirs.
Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord is a decommissioned Thyssen ironworks converted into a public park in 1994 — the blast furnaces were left standing and are lit at night by a permanent color installation designed by Jonathan Park.
