The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by Richard Faille's EuroSouvenir company out of Paris, launched in 2015 and quickly became a collector-driven phenomenon across European museums and tourist sites. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote security specifications — including intaglio printing and a eurozone-standard security thread — which gives them the tactile weight of real currency despite having no legal tender value anywhere.
The Museum of the Slovak National Uprising in Banská Bystrica commemorates the August 1944 armed resistance against the Nazi-backed Slovak State, one of the largest anti-fascist uprisings in occupied Europe. The museum itself, opened in 1969, was designed by Dušan Kuzma in a brutalist split-shell form that remains architecturally distinctive.
