The zero-euro souvenir note program, launched commercially by Richard Faivre's Paris-based company in 2015, occupies an odd corner of the hobby — technically legal tender for zero euros, issued under European Central Bank authorization, but produced purely for the tourist and collector market. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, which is precisely why they sell.
