Living Waters Publications, the evangelism ministry founded by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, produced this piece as a gospel tract — the denomination and "euro" branding are purely decorative, designed to be mistaken briefly for currency before the recipient turns it over. The football theme ties it to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, a distribution opportunity the ministry exploited across several denominations and sporting themes simultaneously.
Not legal tender in any jurisdiction. Collected primarily as ephemera rather than notaphily proper.
