The EESA zero euro souvenir program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, began in France around 2015 and expanded rapidly into a minor collecting phenomenon — hundreds of themes issued annually, each printed to the technical specifications of genuine euro banknotes, including the security thread, UV-reactive ink, and intaglio printing. Oberthur Fiduciaire produces them on the same equipment used for circulating currency, which is the program's core commercial argument.
No face value means no legal tender status, no redemption obligation, and no central bank accountability — a tidy arrangement that lets the notes trade purely as collectibles.
