The zero-euro souvenir note genre has been running since 2015, when the European Banknote Memory Organisation introduced it as a collectible-only format with no monetary value and no legal tender status. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specification — same paper, same security features — which is precisely the point. The Overlord Museum at Colleville-sur-Mer, sited within walking distance of the American cemetery above Omaha Beach, commissioned this issue to mark the eightieth anniversary of the June 1944 landings.
