Eurosouvenirs' 0 euro collector note program, launched in France around 2015, recruited Oberthur Fiduciaire to print the series using genuine euro-specification security paper — the same facility responsible for a significant portion of actual French euro production. The practical effect is that these souvenirs are technically harder to counterfeit than many circulating banknotes from smaller issuing authorities worldwide.
Friedrichshafen's entry in the series trades on its association with the Zeppelin works founded there by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in 1898. The DKBL — the Dornier and later Zeppelin production complex — made the city one of the more heavily bombed industrial targets on Lake Constance during the Second World War, a history the tourist note quietly sidesteps.
