The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by the European Association of Wayside Souvenirs, operates outside the European Central Bank's currency framework entirely — these are legal-tender novelties in name only, issued by private agreement with participating attractions. Oberthur Fiduciaire produces them to genuine banknote specification, using the same security paper and printing processes as circulating currency, which is precisely the point: the collectibility depends on the tactile credibility of the object.
The Oceanographic Museum in Monaco has issued multiple editions since the program's expansion into the Principality, with each release distinguished by a unique serial number prefix tied to the venue.
