The 0 Euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille, operating under the Eurosouvenirs brand, and quickly spread to tourist sites across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to the same security specifications as genuine euro banknotes — watermarks, security thread, UV-reactive inks — which is precisely the point. The legal value is zero, but the production cost is not, and collectors pay a premium for that.
The Brussels issue is one of hundreds in the catalog, distinguished only by its site-specific imagery. What makes the series collectively interesting is the ECB's formal non-objection: these notes are tolerated because the zero denomination places them outside currency law.
