The zero euro souvenir note program was launched in 2015 by Richard Faille under the umbrella of the European Souvenir Banknote Association, licensing cultural sites across Europe to issue legal-tender-denominated but effectively valueless collector pieces. Utah Beach was among the early adopters — a logical fit, given the site's existing draw as one of the principal American landing zones of 6 June 1944. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to full euro-series security specifications, including genuine holograms and EURion constellations, which creates the odd situation of a souvenir carrying more anti-counterfeiting technology than many circulating banknotes from smaller nations.
Each issuing site receives a unique serial number prefix tied to its location.
