EuroSouvenir notes are an officially licensed scheme — the European Central Bank granted permission for the format, and each note is legal to produce precisely because it carries a zero denomination, removing it from currency law entirely. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the series under strict security specifications anyway, using the same substrate and intaglio methods applied to genuine euro production, which is why these handle like real banknotes.
The Gran Via issue appeared during Madrid's 2020 tourism collapse — a quietly odd moment to release a souvenir tied entirely to foot traffic.
