| Comments |
The Monaco Oceanographic Museum souvenir zero-euro notes are legal tender novelties issued under the European Central Bank's framework that permits eurozone members to produce zero-denomination collector pieces — they carry no face value and cannot be exchanged, but they are technically valid instruments within that narrow legal definition. Oberthur Fiduciaire has dominated this niche since the format's commercial launch, producing the vast majority of site-specific issues sold across French-speaking Europe.
Founded by Albert I in 1910, the museum itself predates the euro by nearly a century.
