Pairi Daiza, the Belgian zoo and botanical garden in Brugelette, has become one of the more prolific subjects in the Memo Euro novelty series — this is not a banknote and carries no monetary value, but Enschedé's production quality is genuine. The Haarlem firm has printed legal tender for dozens of sovereign states across three centuries, and their security printing infrastructure is fully deployed here regardless of the piece's commemorative-only status.
Collectors should note that Memo Euro items printed by Enschedé are often indistinguishable in paper and print quality from actual circulating issues — a deliberate choice by the issuer.
