Apollo 11 US Currency Set: Special PMG Label Available

Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) is offering a special label for the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Currency Set that the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is issuing to celebrate the mission that included mankind's first steps on the moon.

The Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Currency Set features a Series 2013 $50 Federal Reserve Note that begins with the serial number 1969, the year of the historic trip to the moon. The currency set goes on sale on July 16, 2019 — exactly 50 years after the Apollo 11 mission launched — and is limited to 5,300 sets.

Apollo 11 fulfilled a challenge made by President Kennedy in 1961 that, "before this decade is out," the US should achieve the goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth." The front of the $50 bill features President Grant, while the back features the US Capitol, where Kennedy issued his famous challenge in an address to Congress.

A special PMG label that benefits the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is available to celebrate these notes. The label is available by request for an additional $5 fee. A royalty will be paid to the ASF by PMG for each label used. Each year, ASF provides dozens of scholarships to outstanding college students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
