The Saut du Doubs is a 27-metre waterfall on the Franco-Swiss border where the Doubs River drops into a narrow gorge — technically in Swiss territory, though the French claim it enthusiastically. The zero-euro souvenir note program launched in 2015 through a commercial partnership between the EuroSouvenir network and Oberthur Fiduciaire, the same security printer responsible for genuine euro banknotes for multiple member states. That choice was deliberate: the notes are printed on genuine banknote paper with the same intaglio and offset techniques used for legal tender, making them functionally indistinguishable in hand from a circulating note, though they carry no monetary value whatsoever.
