The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through various licensed distributors including LEBC, has produced hundreds of regional issues since the concept took off around 2015. This Finnish "Joulu" (Christmas) piece is among the more commercially focused entries in that catalog — Santa Claus Finland is a brand and tourism operation tied to the Rovaniemi area in Finnish Lapland, which markets itself as the official hometown of Santa Claus. The note has no legal tender status anywhere, but Oberthur Fiduciaire applied genuine security printing techniques to the substrate, which is part of the program's appeal to collectors.
