The "0 Euro" souvenir note series, produced under license from the European Central Bank, occupies a legal grey zone by design — denominated at zero to avoid classification as currency while deliberately mimicking the physical properties of genuine euro banknotes. EuroScope GmbH handles the German regional issues within this scheme. Freiburg im Breisgau joined a catalogue that by 2020 had grown to several hundred distinct regional and tourist-themed issues across Europe.
Enschedé's involvement is the one detail worth noting — a security printer with a continuous operational history stretching back to 1703, responsible for genuine banknotes for dozens of central banks worldwide.
