0 Euro - Padirac - Le gouffre

The Gouffre de Padirac souvenir zero-euro note is part of the commercial series launched across European tourist sites after the European Central Bank confirmed in 2015 that such notes carry no legal tender status and require no regulatory approval — a loophole that turned novelty printing into a minor industry. Oberthur Fiduciaire produces the bulk of the French issues, applying genuine security features including a holographic strip, consistent with standard euro production practice.

Padirac's chasm in the Lot département draws around 500,000 visitors annually, making it one of the more commercially viable subjects in the series.
