The Miniatur Wunderland souvenir zero-euro note is part of a broader series launched by the European Banknote Memory Project around 2015, wherein Oberthur Fiduciaire — a legitimate security printer with decades of central bank contracts — produces collector pieces for tourism outlets across the eurozone. The notes carry no legal tender status and were never intended for circulation, but they are printed on genuine banknote paper with the same intaglio and offset security features found on circulating issues, which is precisely what makes them interesting as production objects.
Miniatur Wunderland itself is the world's largest model railway exhibition, opened in Hamburg's Speicherstadt warehouse district in 2001.
