The 0 Euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2016 by Richard Faille's Euro Souvenir company, exploiting a legal grey area: because the face value is zero, the notes are not considered currency under EU law and require no central bank authorization to produce. Oberthur's use of genuine banknote-grade polymer and security features that mirror circulating euro notes is deliberate — the collectibility depends entirely on the notes being indistinguishable in feel and construction from real currency.
The Rialto Bridge issue was among the first wave targeting Italian tourist sites. Polymer examples from this series are notably scarcer than the paper variants issued for the same subjects.
