Money products from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) are again delayed. The BEP’s main task is to manufacture Federal Reserve notes for circulation. The bureau also offers products for collectors, like engraved prints, sheets of uncut currency, and "lucky money" notes with unique serial numbers.
Collectible BEP releases for 2021 and then again in 2022 were delayed "due to the COVID-19 pandemic." In a statement citing the delay of lucky money products for 2022, the BEP said:
"Please note, the BEP is temporarily unable to replenish its numismatic product inventory sold through the United States Mint. We thank you for your continued support during this time and look forward to your future opportunity to purchase this product or add to your collection."
In the latest change, money products which were targeted for release this fall are now expected to be available in spring 2023. They include:

About the BEP
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s main mission is to develop and produce United States banknotes. The agency prints billions of Federal Reserve Notes each year for delivery to the Federal Reserve System. These notes are produced at facilities in Washington, DC, and Fort Worth, TX.
Great. Intrinsically worthless fiat currency sold at a higher premium price. Would make sense to me if I had an excess amount of paper money to flush down the toilet.
Then again, and as a requisite afterthought, I do find both the Fortune and Lucky Panda Note presentations to be worth the price of admission. As always, each to his/her own.
I agree 100% Sir Kaiser. Those are the only currency products I purchase. Happy holidays to you and yours!
Thank you so very much for your kind and thoughtful wishes, Coinman, and the very same to you and your family also!
