The zero euro souvenir note program began in France around 2015 and has since expanded to hundreds of locations across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the entire series under license, incorporating genuine euro security features — including the EURion constellation and UV-reactive elements — despite the notes carrying no legal tender status anywhere. The decision to use real security printing was deliberate: it sidesteps counterfeiting concerns while giving collectors something technically credible to handle.
Močenok is a small village in western Slovakia, Nitra District. Its appearance in this series reflects how aggressively the souvenir note concept has been marketed into minor municipalities and tourist attractions across Central Europe since roughly 2019.
