The EuroSouvenir program, launched in 2016, was a commercial initiative allowing tourist attractions across Europe to issue legally denominated but non-spendable zero-euro notes — a collector format with no monetary function whatsoever. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of France's major security printers, handled production for the series and applied genuine banknote-grade security features, including watermarking, partly to discourage counterfeiting of what is, technically, a worthless piece of paper.
Miniatur Wunderland, the Hamburg model railway attraction, was among the earliest participating venues. Notes from the first print runs of popular sites sold out quickly and began trading on secondary markets at multiples of their nominal retail price.
