Zero euro souvenir notes are a private scheme launched in France around 2015 by Richard Faille, sold through tourist attractions and redeemable for nothing — they are legal-tender lookalikes with no monetary function whatsoever, issued under a curious regulatory tolerance that allows them to circulate as collectibles without constituting counterfeit currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, which is precisely the point: the security features are real, the substrate is real, only the value is fictional.
Mini-Europe, the Brussels park of scale architectural models, has issued multiple zero euro variants across different years. The 2022 release is one of dozens of attraction-specific notes Oberthur has produced for the French-led EuroSouvenir program, which by the early 2020s had expanded to hundreds of issuing sites across Europe.
