EuroSouvenir notes are a licensed collectible series — legal tender they are not, but Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to the same security specifications used for genuine euro banknotes, including the distinctive feel of the substrate. The Stadsfeestzaal in Antwerp is a department store occupying a restored 1908 shopping gallery on the Meir, gutted by fire in 2000 and reopened in 2009 after a lengthy reconstruction. That gap between disaster and reopening is the more interesting part of the building's recent history.
