Lucky Money Collection

The Chinese red envelope is a symbol of luck and is part of a rich gift giving tradition. The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing created the Lucky Money Collection to capture the exquisite decorative Chinese symbolism and numerology with numbers “8888” for fortune, “168” for prosperity, and “777” for luck. The red envelope gifts are a popular way to celebrate the Lunar New Year and other special occasions like weddings, birthdays, and the arrival of new babies.
