0 Euro - Bamberger Dom

The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by EuroSouvenir and launched in 2015, is printed under official license from the European Central Bank — which permits the format precisely because the notes carry no monetary value and therefore pose no counterfeiting risk worth regulating. Oberthur Fiduciaire in Rennes produces them to genuine banknote specification, which is the point: collectors pay for the feel of real currency paper, the holograms, the watermarks.

Bamberg's cathedral took nearly three centuries to complete after its foundation in 1004 under Heinrich II, who was later canonized — his tomb remains inside the building.
