Malinô Brdo is a Slovak resort area in the Ráztočno locality of the Handlová district, better known for its year-round outdoor recreation than for monetary history. The EuroSouvenir program — a privately run initiative that licenses the euro banknote format for tourist collectibles — uses Oberthur Fiduciaire's security printing infrastructure to produce these notes with genuine feel but zero legal tender status anywhere.
Oberthur has printed actual euro currency for the Banque de France, so the substrate and production standards on these souvenirs are not trivial. The irony is that a zero-denomination note printed by a firm that handles live currency is technically more securely produced than many real banknotes from smaller issuing authorities.
