The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through licensed issuers across Europe and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, has become a minor collecting phenomenon since its introduction in 2015 — museums, tourist sites, and cultural institutions commission individual designs, which are sold rather than circulated. Technik Museum Speyer has issued several of these, trading on its permanent collection of aerospace and automotive hardware.
Oberthur's production involves genuine banknote-grade paper and a security thread, which gives these souvenirs their collector appeal despite carrying no monetary value anywhere. R. Faille is one of several designers working regularly within the program.
