The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by the Union Européenne des Billets de collection Uniques (UEBU) and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, has operated since 2015 as a legal collector instrument — technically valid currency under EU law, but issued at a face value that guarantees it will never circulate. The scheme is clever: no country bears redemption liability, no central bank is exposed, and Oberthur gets a steady contract printing items that go straight into albums.
Oberthur's facility in Chantepie, near Rennes, produces these using genuine banknote paper with watermark security — the same infrastructure that prints actual circulating notes for multiple African and European clients.
