| Comments |
The 0 Euro souvenir note series, produced under license from the European Central Bank, has no legal tender status anywhere — including, obviously, Morocco. Bank Al-Maghrib's involvement here is essentially nominal; these are collectibles manufactured for the tourist and philatelic market, not instruments of monetary policy. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, which is precisely the point: the paper, the security features, the feel are all authentic enough to justify the price collectors pay.
Tangiers was the obvious choice for a Moroccan entry in the series — its history as an international zone administered by multiple European powers until 1956 gives it more European entanglement than almost any other North African city.
