| Comments |
The zero-euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2016 and has since become a minor collecting phenomenon, with Oberthur Fiduciaire holding the dominant production contract. These are legal-format novelties — same paper, same security features as genuine euro banknotes, including a serial number — but denominated at zero to sidestep any legal tender complications. Zoo de la Barben, located near Salon-de-Provence in the Bouches-du-Rhône, is one of the oldest zoological parks in France, with roots going back to the early twentieth century.
