| Comments |
The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by the UEJA and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, launched commercially in 2015 after the ECB clarified that novelty notes denominated at zero carried no legal tender implications and required no central bank authorization. Oberthur's involvement matters here — the same facility produces genuine euro banknotes for the Banque de France, and the souvenir series uses the same intaglio-adjacent printing techniques and hologram strip specifications, which is precisely what makes them appealing to collectors and difficult to dismiss as mere tourist trinkets.
Stade Marcel-Michelin in Clermont-Ferrand is home to ASM Clermont Auvergne. The Michelin name on the stadium is not coincidental — the tyre company has been the club's primary backer for decades.
