Byrrh is a quinquina-based aperitif wine developed in Thuir in the 1870s by the Violet brothers, and the caves where it was aged became — at one point — home to the largest oak barrel in the world, a promotional feat that drew considerable tourist traffic through the twentieth century. The souvenir zero-euro program, launched in 2015 with Oberthur Fiduciaire producing notes to full ECB security specifications, tapped exactly that kind of regional heritage site.
Legal tender for nothing, but printed to the same standard as circulating currency.
