EuroSouvenir notes are a collector-only series with no legal tender status anywhere — they function as licensed souvenirs printed to European Central Bank-approved specifications, which is why Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the continent's principal security printers, produces them on genuine banknote paper to ECB dimensional standards. The program launched in 2015 and expanded rapidly through French tourist sites before spreading across the eurozone.
Praia da Alagoa is a small black-sand beach on Madeira's north coast, accessible from Porto da Cruz. The north shore sees a fraction of the tourist traffic that the southern resorts attract, which tends to make these regional variants less commonly encountered than their Funchal-area counterparts.
