0 Euro - Nurmijärvi

The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered through licensed distributors across Europe, has produced hundreds of locality-specific issues since its commercial launch around 2015. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specification — same paper, same security watermark — which gives them a tactile legitimacy that postcards lack. They carry no monetary value and are not legal tender, but the ECB has never objected to the format because they technically denominate nothing.

Nurmijärvi, a Finnish municipality northwest of Helsinki, is perhaps best known internationally as the birthplace of Aleksis Kivi, author of the first significant novel written in Finnish.
