The 0 Euro souvenir program was launched in 2015 by the European Banknote Memory Organization (EBMO) in cooperation with licensed printers, Oberthur Fiduciaire being the dominant producer. Notes are legal in design terms — they meet the dimensional and security specifications of genuine euro banknotes — but carry no monetary value and are issued purely as collectibles tied to tourist destinations.
Dubrovnik's entry arrived in 2019, during a period when the city was already managing significant overtourism pressure. Croatia had not yet adopted the euro, which gives these notes a quietly odd status: souvenirs mimicking a currency the issuing city did not officially use.
