The zero-euro souvenir note is a French innovation that emerged around 2015, driven by a Paris-based company called Zero Euro Banknote and licensed through the Banque de France — an unusual arrangement that gives these pieces legal-tender face value in theory while ensuring they never actually circulate. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, hologram included, which is precisely the point: the tactile and visual experience of handling real currency is the product being sold, not the denomination.
The Aquarium de Saint-Malo series belongs to a now-crowded field of regional tourist issues. Collectibility within the zero-euro niche tends to track print run size, which the issuing venues control and rarely disclose publicly.
