Received my five replacement sleeves this morning. Same thing as above, large envelope and they are flat packed inside. Fairly fast for the mint, now I wonder if they got it all correct this time! Lol.

I received mine today as well. Interestingly, they spelled my first name wrong. That indicates to me that they're not tying the replacements to the original orders.

Well I think they are, because they asked me for my original order # to verify that I qualify. However, I don't think they have an automated way to issue these replacements so I'm guessing the call center folks have to hand-enter a new order. Just a guess.

To reinforce what I said above, I was cleaning my office and about to chuck the manila envelope in which these replacement sleeves showed up... but then I noticed a sheet of paper inside the envelope I had missed before. It is a letter to me from the Mint. On it, it states my original order number. So, I have to say they are tying them to the original orders.

They asked for my original order number too, so that could be.

Apollo 11 currency set has info on it now:
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is pleased to introduce the 2019 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Currency Set to celebrate the moon landing. The set features a Series 2013 $50 note with a serial number beginning with "1969" and an engraved representation of the famous "Buzz Aldrin on the Moon" photograph taken July 20, 1969. The reflection in Aldrin's visor—which includes Neil Armstrong, the United States flag, and the lunar lander—is embossed. The note is protected by a clear, acid-free polymer sleeve, and the engraved print features a limited edition number matching the last four digits of the serial number on the $50 note.

It looks interesting, but that does put the price out of my range.

Interestingly, the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Currency Set now shows as "currently unavailable".
