On June 18, MoneyFactory will release the 2019 $2 Rocketship (B15053).
It's going to be a $2 beginning with "2019" in a . (Note their "Happy Birthday" set is a $1 FRN beginning with 2019...) $9.95.
This was odd:
Mintage Limit: 24,000
Product Limit: 23,000
Household Order Limit: 50
What are they going to do with the other 1000?
And if you want a lot of them:
Discounted to $8.50 each when ordering 50 or more—volume discount applied in shopping cart
They'll be from the following banks:
New York (B)
Atlanta (F)
San Francisco (L)

Huh.
In addition to the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Currency Set (B15054), which steathily made it way onto the product schedule for sale on July 2, comes another BEP boutique set for sale two weeks earlier.
No details yet (just a blank web page), but a $2 Rocketship product has made the schedule for June 18.
Maybe they're folding a $2 FRN in the shape of a rocket ship. Maybe the $2 FRN will be prooflike.
More details as they... lift off.
Comments
Blast off! Thanks @BackroadJunkie!
Is this a resale/reissue of the earlier Rocketship set?? I guess we will not know until more details are published....Cheers, Ricko
Announced back in October....regular $2 bill with proof quarters (assuming this hasn't changed since)
Edit: now that I actually READ it ...probably not the Rocketship $2 mentioned.....RATHER THE "Coin & Currency" SET
That's the "Youth" Coin and Currency slated for this fall, as opposed to the $1 Sacabuck C&C which is slated for the "summer". (I would have said "third quarter", but this being a coin forum...) One or the other might be stocking stuffer material...
I wonder if those proof quarters will be "enhanced" proof quarters... With a "W" mint-mark...
I'd buy one...
No, this is a BEP "Premium Currency Product", which means it's an FRN of some sort.
Edit to say: Well, probably not a FRN of some sort, probably a deuce with a special serial number...
Now THAT sounds like a winner..........NOT! ..but, I agree
most likely numbers beginning with...2019
@BackroadJunkie ....Thanks, that sounds likely..... Not something I am interested in though.... Cheers, RickO
Or 43210... (That's a thousand notes per bank and suffix. It's probably be pretty easy for them to get a 5K run...) That might get me to buy one...
Details released. See first post of this thread.
Thats’s cool! $10 for $2.
Heck might as well get some I have the grandkid and et. al. to give to.
They have the rocketship coin set might as well get them this currency set, too.
Thanks BRJ for the update!
US Mint special due to Father’s Day.
2-day shipping for $4.95
“DAD”
I would like to have the note shown for the product picture. 20190720 - July 20th being the day they landed...
Looks like they are using that date for the example pics on the Mint site.
The "kid" in me demanded that I get a handfuls

Dear Gluggo Smith:
Your order placed on 06/18/19 has been confirmed. Please retain this summary for your records. Thank you for shopping with the United States Mint!
I just got two. I will play the serial number lottery and separate my orders by a few hours. I love the loyalty program.
I'll pick up a half-dozen for stocking stuffers, since the C&C set will probably be 19.95 - 24.95...

They're coming from three different banks, so there's a chance three bills will have that S/N.
There's a possibility one of them might make it out into the wild. That would be nice.
Was also thinking 20190716 (Launch date) and 20190724 (Return date) would be winning numbers.
Ooooh I like the launch and return dates too!
I also like it when the last 4 make for an actual date (2019MMDD) -- that could have extra value for someone interested in the date (their birthday or someone they know, anniversary, special event, etc...)
Got some... more than I planned.
Messing around with “DAD” to see if it worked. Confused the phone’s browser. Went to laptop and put the order in. Checked the status of the order on the laptop and lookie there the phone order went through, too, and Dad didn’t work.
AND got the emails saying they both went through.
Glad I wan’t ordering any PM this go around.
For those interested, they removed the Household Order Limit on the $2 Rocketship...
Any first day of issue numbers?
Wouldn't the best bills be 20190000 or 20192019? Or perhaps 20199102...what is that a Radar Note?
I meant how many were sold by the Mint yesterday.
Best # would be:
20190716....launch date
20190720....Lunar landing
20190721...first step on the moon
20190724...return flight splash down
FYI....email from US Mint....my notes are "in the mail"

Anyone notice the 1000 difference in ML and PL?
Saving the 1000 $2 for something else? Maybe already used in other $2 BEP product?
Perhaps with the missing reverse proof AI’s. Sorry couldn’t resist 🙀jzyskowski
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Heard from a friend of mine they've sold about 66% of the Product Limit...
Thanks for the heads-up @DotStore!
My accidental double order was not a factor in that.
Edit:
Sold out is a good thing if .... but a bad thing if ....
The coin rocketship, technically, has not sold out but impossible to get at the Mint (unless...) but secondary market prices are Wow!
Any serials of interest?
Same question thoughtmine arrived but false alarm🙀jzyskowski received my 2. L20199011 & 9012 A. SF. Fed Res.
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Got mine🙀jzyskowski see last post
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Didn’t notice the 9-11 part of the serial numbers till this morning anybody know anything about upcoming 20 year 9-11 coin from mint that might pair up? Thanks 🙀jzyskowski L20199011A. SF Fed.Res. Not sure the rules on proper ordering of numbers but in this case it was close enough for me to give a few chills (my reference being to value grading desirability rarity and such)this one goes to grandson so researching will show us knowledge galore!
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
9011? Good luck with that no. on the other hand...9110 might fly.
Got plenty of luck it’s in hand my grumpy friend. Not trying to fly just looking to learn. 🙀jzyskowski
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
I sure wish I could sell $2 for $10.
But no, I pay $10, and sell it years later for $2.
Story of my life and investing success...
I made the mistake of collecting moderns. Trying to quit, but addiction is tough and hard to stop, even when you know better.
But no 2019 Rocket ship purchase for me so far. Avoiding it, One day at a time.

Countdown started on 14 July.

Pre-countdown? Trying to think up something for 00 July.
Countdown to 00. Blast Off!
Had lunch with a friend of mine today. I got the feeling the status for these $2 Rocketships will be updated to "CU" very soon...
So tempted... checking.
Care to share some info?.....
Sure - he thought the status would go to "CU" by this weekend. Based on remaining inventory at less than 600 (that was yesterday so I don't know how many remain at the moment...)
Got a few to round out an order to get free expedited shipping.
More than 100 remaining....
As of this post (about 22:51 Eastern) there are 84 left.

Edit: Update about 30 mins later.
2 left, but probably UNA as I post this.
On target @DotStore. They are no longer available.
i ordered 2 last night just for the fun of it.
