Comments

Euroscope GmbH produces these "Memo Euro" pieces as licensed fantasy notes — legal non-currency sold as souvenirs, with zero face value by design. Royal Joh. Enschedé's involvement is the genuinely interesting detail here: one of Europe's oldest security printers, responsible for genuine euro banknotes among hundreds of other sovereign issues, brought onto a tourist novelty run. The firm has been printing in Haarlem continuously since 1703, which means their security printing pedigree predates the Dutch East India Company's final decades.

Enschedé's participation gives these pieces production quality well above typical souvenir fare — the paper and print registration reflect the same house standards applied to circulating currency.
