The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by the Collectible Euro Banknotes company under license from the European Central Bank, has produced hundreds of these since 2015 — but Musée des Blindés in Saumur has a legitimate claim to being among the more defensible subjects in the series. The museum holds the largest collection of tanks and armored vehicles in the world, including a running Tiger I, one of only a handful in existence capable of self-propulsion.
Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specification, with the same security substrate used for circulating currency. Legally worthless; physically identical in manufacture to real euro notes.
