Souvenir zero-euro notes were introduced around 2015 by a French entrepreneur, Richard Faille, working with Oberthur Fiduciaire — the same security printer that has produced official currency for numerous central banks. The format uses genuine euro banknote security features: a metallic strip, UV-reactive ink, and microprinting, which is precisely what drives collector interest. You are buying a legal-format security document that happens to carry no monetary obligation.
The Roman theater at Cartagena (ancient Carthago Nova) was excavated beginning only in 1988, having been buried under centuries of later construction including a medieval palace built directly on top of it.
