The Zero Euro is a souvenir banknote with authorized printing by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is on queue to be a popular in 2017 banknote collector markets. It’s origins stem from France in 2015 after Richard Faille, creator of popular French currency souvenirs, decided to create euros that promote tourism. The banknotes are printed at a private fiduciary facility and they share many of the same characteristics of a real Euro except that they are marked as β€œ0”, hence the name, and are tested to ensure they cannot enter circulation as legitimate financial currency. The front of all zero euros is the same and it includes a white zero followed by the Euro sign to denominate no financial value. Then (from left to right) Brandenburg Gate, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, Sagrada Familia, Manneken Pis and the Mona Lisa.

It doesn't seem to be sold as ironic money, just as cool collectors items like stamps.

Yeah, but you can easily frame it as a dig at them. All the better if you can appeal to both audiences, right?

I've thought about this but with American flag rolling papers. Patriotic potheads buy it for the design, revolutionaries buy it for a chance to burn Old Glory πŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ”₯
