The Memo Euro series is a privately issued novelty product with no legal tender status — essentially a souvenir banknote, sold as a collectable and produced to intentionally resemble Euro format without reproducing any actual denomination. EuroScope commissioned Royal Joh. Enschedé for this run, an unusual choice given the printer's long-standing contracts with De Nederlandsche Bank and several European central banks. Enschedé's security printing pedigree goes back over three centuries, which makes their involvement in a zero-value commemorative item a minor curiosity in itself.
The Wasserkuppe is the highest point in the Rhön mountains and in the German state of Hesse, at 950 metres.
