| Comments |
Not a state-issued banknote. "Diego Adios" novelty euros — produced by private printers, usually in Spain and Germany, for use as stage money, film props, or satirical collectibles — circulate freely on secondary markets and are occasionally misrepresented as genuine tender. The European Central Bank has consistently pursued legal action against manufacturers whose products too closely replicate the dimensions and design of genuine euro banknotes, a restriction that forces most producers to introduce deliberate distortions or overprinting.
No central bank authorization. No legal tender status anywhere in the Eurozone.
