The European Euro Souvenir Programme, administered through licensed distributors across participating countries, issues these zero-denomination notes as legal novelties — collectible by design, spendable nowhere. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to full euro security specifications, including the official paper substrate and UV-reactive elements, which is precisely what gives the series its appeal and what keeps the European Central Bank satisfied that no confusion with genuine currency arises.
This Easter-themed Slovak example from 2022 is one of dozens of seasonal and regional variants issued that year alone. Scarcity is manufactured, not accidental.
