The zero euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille, initially targeting tourist sites unable to issue legal tender but keen on collectible revenue. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specifications — correct security thread, intaglio printing, and UV-reactive elements — which is precisely why they appeal to collectors rather than sitting in a gift shop bin for a season before disposal. Miniatur Wunderland, the Hamburg model railway exhibition, is among the most-visited paid attractions in Germany, drawing over a million visitors annually, which made it a commercially obvious candidate for the series.
