The zero-euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2016 by the MEAA (Musées et Attractions Associés) as a way for tourist sites to sell a legally valid — but deliberately worthless — banknote as a collectible. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine euro security specifications, including the holographic strip, which gives the program its odd credibility: these are real banknotes in every technical sense except that no central bank will ever honor them. The ECB has not objected, since issuing a zero-denomination instrument creates no monetary liability.
