A very late addition to the product catalog (the same thing happened last year) is the BEP annual Lucky Money issue. 2020 is the year of the Rat.

It is a $1 FRN with a serial number starting with "8888", and can come from any of the 12 FRB's. If you purchase 50 units or more, the price is discounted to $4.50. They'll be offered for sale on Dec 11 at Noon.

$1 Year of the Rat 2020 (B15055)
It has another one of those odd Mintage/Product limits. (Okay, I get the Mintage Limit, but not the 15K lower Product Limit.)

Mintage Limit: 108,888
Product Limit: 93,888
Household Order Limit: 250


These typically sell out, moreso that they're on the Mint's site now. The last time I ordered these for gifts, I got consecutively numbered S/N's, which made me not want to gift them, but there you are.

Will I get banned if I mention Hong Kong? :D

    I am not a bill collector, however, where I worked prior to retiring, we had a large Asian workforce. These would have made great gifts....Cheers, RickO

    At least these won’t have the holder/glue problem.

    I'd only buy the note that has all 8's as the S/N.

    Interesting. I did order one because there was no shipping cost. And it’s the year of the Rat.

    The “Lucky Number 8888” is still available and using the same starting serial number.

    Interesting.

    Why doesn't Ryder sign a few of them randomly and they will be really lucky and collectable then. PCGS grades bills now B)

    Yep, that's why I asked.

    If I was in the NBA, I'd have already been banned. (And yes, I did ask the same question when I made a comment about the 2020 basketball commems... :D)

    I have to wonder if mine is worth anything, G 88888803 serial number, I figure six eights in a row has to be worth something.

    Not bad for only ordering one.
