The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by the European Banknote Memory Organization, launched in 2015 as a legal-tender-denomination novelty produced under official Eurosystem specifications — same security paper, same printing standards as circulating euro notes, face value of zero. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the continent's principal security printers, has produced the bulk of the series.
Sainte-Mère-Église was the first French town liberated on D-Day, 6 June 1944, before the main beach landings were complete. The Airborne Museum there holds one of the most visited collections of American paratrooper material in Europe, built around the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions' drop into the Cotentin Peninsula.
