France Miniature, the theme park near Élancourt that opened in 1991, gets the souvenir euro treatment here — one of dozens of site-specific 0 Euro notes issued annually under MES licensing arrangements with European attractions. Enschedé's involvement lends these pieces genuine security-paper credentials: the Haarlem firm has been producing currency and fiscal paper since the early eighteenth century and still prints banknotes for multiple sovereign issuers. The irony is that the most technically serious component of a note with no monetary value whatsoever is its substrate.
