Euroscope's "Memo Euro" series was designed as an educational aid — souvenir notes intended for classroom use and tourist retail, produced to approximate euro specifications without being legal tender. This Amsterdam example was printed by Royal Joh. Enschedé in Haarlem, one of the oldest continuously operating security printers in the world, whose work on actual Dutch guilder notes and genuine euro-related contracts gives the Memo series an unusual production pedigree for what is essentially a novelty item.
Enschedé's involvement is the detail worth noting. Few souvenir note producers have access to a printer with that kind of security printing infrastructure.
