<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 6967269, member: 105098&quot;]It&#039;s not actual cash though it&#039;s a company marketing scheme to make a few bucks. They charge $5 euros for it, and partner with the printer that prints the euro currency but it&#039;s not monetized and has no cash value. Even says &quot;euro souvenir &quot; on the note. Not much different than Disney dollars really but Disney dollars actually have a cash value at disney. The company is called &quot;euro note souvenier&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s funny is I clicked the buy one, and its 5 euros and 4+ euros Ireland tax.</p><p>Limited to 5000 issued x5 euros 25,000 euros for euro note souvenier and 20,000+ euros for irelands government in tax revenue. Not a bad deal for the parties involved and something for people to collect and 10 euros total asking price isn&#039;t steep really... it&#039;s basically just using their euro printer facilities to legitimize a zero value note that can&#039;t be spent as a keepsake or collector item.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy some of them on ebay for less than $5 so I don&#039;t see them being a &quot;hot&quot; collectible any time soon but you never know.</p><p>I like the idea of it from an entrepreneurship and revenue generating standpoint, I think it&#039;s a brilliant idea with little cost involved. Bank notes I think cost like 10 cents to make regardless of denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
