The zero-euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille, who licensed the official euro format from the European Central Bank for explicitly non-monetary commemorative use. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these under strict specification — same security paper, same intaglio feel as genuine currency — which is precisely what makes them collectible and precisely why the ECB agreed to permit them. Seaquarium Le Grau-du-Roi, on the Mediterranean coast near Montpellier, issued this note as a visitor memento tied to the aquarium's ticketing operation.
