Training notes issued to bank staff ahead of euro changeover on 1 January 2002 were produced in several formats across participating member states — some overprinted "SPECIMEN," others carrying modified serial prefixes, and a subset manufactured specifically as tactile handling notes with no legal tender status at all. The precise origin and commissioning authority for individual training batches varied by country, making definitive attribution difficult. These were working tools, not issued currency, and most were destroyed after the changeover training period ended.
Survivors reached the collector market largely through bank employee disposal rather than any formal release.
