Zero Euro Banknotes History: In 2015, Richard Faille, the creator of popular French currency souvenirs, decided to create a euro that would promote tourism. In the same year, the European Central Bank (ECB) approved and authorized the issuance of these zero-euro souvenir banknotes, which fully correspond to the real features of the banknotes - printed on the same paper, have water and other identification marks, but their denomination is "0" and these banknotes are not a settlement tool. 0 euro souvenir banknotes have become especially popular with collectors, and tourists and collectors buy them as special gifts or prizes from different countries. These souvenir banknotes are placed on special orders by the European Central Bank (ECB) Private Trustees' Center.
