The 0 Euro souvenir note program, managed by the European Banknote Memory Organization (EBMO), has since around 2015 expanded well beyond European borders to include tourist sites worldwide — New York's Central Park among them. These notes are printed to full ECB security specifications by Oberthur Fiduciaire and carry genuine legal-tender denomination of zero, making them officially valueless by design. The model is essentially licensed nostalgia: retailers at or near featured attractions purchase print runs and sell them as collectibles.
Central Park appearing on a note denominated in euros, issued under a nominally American banner, printed in France, is the kind of jurisdictional absurdity the program has never bothered to resolve.
