Karl Marx ‘zero-euro’ bill becomes German souvenir hit with 100k sold

A cheeky ‘zero-euro’ bill, issued by a German tourism agency to commemorate the bicentenary of Karl Marx’s birth, has become a runaway success, with more than 100,000 wealth re-distributing purchases on record.

Printed by Trier Tourism and Marketing in honor of Marx’s 200th birthday, the original 5,000 ‘zero euro’ notes sold out in less than a month. In the weeks that followed, collectors and tourists alike have pounced on the souvenir bills, with over 100,000 purchases of the commemorative banknote –which sells for three euros– to date. Marx was born in Trier, a city in southwest Germany, on May 5th, 1818.

The faux bill – which features a portrait of Karl Marx – is slightly larger than a 20 euro note, and is made of the same security paper used by the European Union currency.

It's all the euro would be worth if they take final and full control of Europe anyway.
