The "Memo Euro" series was a commercial product launched by Euroscope GmbH — a German novelty and tourism goods company — exploiting public familiarity with euro banknote aesthetics to produce regionally themed souvenirs. Enschedé in Haarlem, one of Europe's oldest continuously operating security printers, has produced everything from Dutch guilder notes to postage stamps for scores of governments; taking on a souvenir run for Innsbruck is a long way down from that portfolio.
The zero-denomination format is a legal workaround — no face value means no monetary instrument, no fraud liability, and no central bank oversight. Enschedé's security printing credentials are the actual selling point here; the anti-counterfeiting features are real, which is precisely what makes these attractive to collectors of fiscal curiosities.
