EuroSouvenir's 0 Euro program, launched commercially around 2015, is printed to European Central Bank technical specifications by licensed security printers — Oberthur Fiduciaire among them — making these notes functionally indistinguishable from legal tender in paper quality and intaglio feel, despite carrying no monetary value whatsoever. The program exploits a quirk: because the denomination is zero, no central bank authorization is required for issue.
The Bodensee edition targets one of Germany's most visited tourist regions, a lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — a geography that gives a zero-euro note a certain irony, since the Swiss franc circulates on one of its shores.
