The Mémorial Alsace-Moselle at Schirmeck opened in 2005 to document the singular legal status of Alsace-Moselle under German annexation and its consequences through two world wars — including the forced conscription of Alsatians into the Wehrmacht, a subject long suppressed in postwar French public memory. The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered through the European Central Bank's licensed framework, has made Oberthur Fiduciaire the dominant printer for these collector issues since the format launched around 2015.
Legal tender in denomination only — which is to say, not at all practically.
