0 euro Parc du Petit Prince

Zero-euro souvenir notes were introduced in France around 2015 as a scheme developed by Richard Faille, sold through tourist attractions at face prices of roughly €2–3 each. They are legal in design terms — struck to euro banknote specifications and printed by licensed security printers — but carry no monetary value and are not issued by any central bank. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the two major French security printers, handles much of the production run for the series. The Parc du Petit Prince in Ungersheim, Alsace, themed around Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1943 novella, issued this example in the scheme's early years.
