The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through various collectors' unions and tourist operators across Europe, began gaining serious traction around 2015 as a low-cost entry point into notaphily. This example, issued by the UECF, commemorates Le Sancy — the 1,885-meter dormant volcanic peak in the Massif Central that is the highest point in the Massif Central and in all of mainland France north of the Alps and Pyrenees. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of France's principal security printers with roots in the Rennes-based Oberthur group, produced the note to full euro-format security specifications despite its face value of nothing.
These notes carry no legal tender status anywhere and were never intended to circulate.
