How much would you be willing to pay for a €0 ticket? From February 2024, Euro Banknote Memory will market a commemorative banknote on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings.
Next to the €0 amount, buyers will be able to find old photographs of the event as well as the poster put up in the streets of London in 1940 on the orders of General de Gaulle. Three key dates of the Second World War will also be included: 18 June 1940, the date of General de Gaulle's appeal, 6 June 1944, the day of the Normandy landings, and 8 May 1945, the signing of the armistice.
Manufactured by Oberthur Fiduciaire, this banknote limited to 3000 pieces uses the security codes of a real banknote such as watermarks and unique serial numbers.
Collector's banknotes
Since 2015, Euro Banknote Memory has been selling its souvenir tickets in tourist places such as the Saint-Malo Aquarium and the Opéra Garnier. For two euros, visitors can leave with their voucher bearing the monument's image.
For this new ticket in honor of the D-Day landings, a sale is planned for Sunday, February 11 in Isle (Haute-Vienne), near Limoges, between 9 a.m. and 17:30 p.m. If the ticket is €0, fans will still have to pay €3 to buy it.
