The "0 Euro" souvenir series is a private commercial venture run by PEAG under the EuroSouvenir label, not a product of any central bank. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specification — security thread, intaglio, and all — which is precisely the point: collectors pay for the tactile authenticity of a real currency production process applied to a note that is, legally, worth nothing and redeemable nowhere.
This example ties to the Rijksmuseum's ongoing merchandising of the 1642 Rembrandt painting, one of the most commercially licensed works in Dutch cultural history. The 0 Euro format has issued hundreds of tourist-destination variants since 2015; scarcity is engineered through limited print runs declared at the point of sale.
