A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa appears at right. Inscriptions identify each monument and credit the printer. |

The Euro Souvenir program, administered by the VEBN (the European Banknote and Novelty Collectors' association), produces these zero-denomination notes as legal collector items rather than currency — they circulate only as tourist purchases, typically sold at theme parks, museums, and heritage sites across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, including security paper, which gives them a weight and feel indistinguishable from circulating euro notes. The Nickelodeon Land tie-in almost certainly corresponds to a specific park attraction, making these effectively dated souvenirs whose collectibility tracks the operating life of whatever installation commissioned them.
