3/20/20:

PMG has temporarily extended the eligibility period for its popular Early Releases and First Releases designations to help customers affected by local and regional shutdowns due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. The temporary extension will allow 45 days for a new banknote issue to be submitted to PMG for these designations instead of the usual 30 days.

Any new banknote issue released now through April 15 will qualify for Early Releases or First Releases if received by PMG within 45 days of its release date. In addition, all Early Releases and First Releases cutoff dates currently posted will be extended by 15 calendar days. If you have any questions about your banknote's cutoff date for Early Releases and First Releases, contact PMG Customer Service.
