Geneva's 2019 zero-franc note is a souvenir issue with no monetary value and no pretense of having any — the denomination itself is the joke. Oberthur Fiduciaire, which prints legitimate currency for numerous central banks, produced it to the same security-paper standards as circulating notes, which is partly the point: the tactile authenticity is what makes it worth owning.
Geneva is not alone in this format — Swiss cantons and municipalities have used commemorative zero-value notes as controlled collectibles since at least the 1990s, essentially treating banknote-format printing as a medium for civic promotion.
