Euro Banknote Memory issues these zero-denomination "souvenir notes" as collectibles tied to specific heritage sites, with no monetary value and no central bank involvement. Oberthur Fiduciaire — one of Europe's serious security printers — handles production, which means the substrate and hologram are genuine banknote-grade materials despite the novelty premise. Nothe Fort, a Victorian-era Palmerston Fort completed in 1872 on the Weymouth headland, was part of a coastal defence network that never fired a shot in anger.
