A new 0 euro note will go on sale in February before being issued next July. 

Some people will soon be able to have a new note in their wallet. A special 0 euro note will be put into circulation next July. It will only be printed in 3,000 copies according to Le Journal du Geek.

Purple in color, it will represent June 6, 1944, the date of the landing in Normandy, and will celebrate the "80 years of the Liberation of France" after the Second World War, details Capital. It is therefore not an official currency but a commemorative work. 

On sale February 11

These notes will be sold on February 11, 2024 by a collective specializing in this type of sale, Euro Banknote Memory. 

The three thousand copies will be numbered from 000001 to 003000 and will be on sale between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. in Isle, in Haute-Vienne, as part of the 21st Collectors' Show with the principle of & ;quot;first come, first served", specifies Capital.
