Introduction to the 2026 Moneymade Money Calendar

Korea Minting, Security Printing & ID Card Operating Corporation has unveiled a new product line that combines sustainability with cultural significance. The company announced on the 10th that it will start pre-sale reservations for three types of the ‘2026 Moneymade Money Calendar’ through its official online shopping mall from the 11th. This calendar is made using byproducts from currency manufacturing, reflecting the company's commitment to recycling and environmental responsibility.

Previous Successes in Sustainable Products

This initiative follows the successful release of the ‘Money Ballpoint Pen’ in March. The pen was designed under the concept of “a pen that brings wealth,” incorporating currency byproducts into its body. It quickly sold out its initial stock within two hours. The corporation then launched the Money Keyring and Money Envelope last month, continuing its trend of innovative and eco-friendly products.

Details of the New Product Line

The newly released ‘Money Calendar’ marks the company’s first calendar product. It includes two premium calendars that blend the symbolism of currency with Korean design sensibility, as well as one Lucky Calendar symbolizing good fortune.

Premium Money Calendars

The premium Money Calendars are available in wall-mounted and desk types. Their unique feature is a storytelling concept that highlights Korean culture and history through figures and heritage depicted on currency. The inner pages use eco-friendly paper made from recycled currency manufacturing byproducts, allowing direct visibility of the “money powder.” These calendars have a golden cover that symbolizes abundance for the new year. The initial production volume is 4,000 units in total.

Lucky Calendar

The Lucky Calendar, released alongside the Money Calendar, is a desk type that includes memo paper for notes and scheduling. It adds a touch of luck with a four-leaf clover design. It will be limited to 1,000 units in the first release. Pre-sale reservations will proceed from the 11th until the first batch of prepared stock is sold out. Sequential deliveries are scheduled to begin on the 8th of next month.

Company Vision and Future Goals

Korea Minting, Security Printing & ID Card Operating Corporation President Seong Chang-hoon emphasized the company's vision: “We will expand the value of trust and hope that currency holds into everyday life and spread a citizen-participatory ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goods culture that delivers good fortune and warm hearts.”

This new product line not only showcases the company's innovative approach but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability and community engagement. By integrating recycled materials into everyday items, Korea Minting is setting a new standard for eco-conscious consumer goods. The success of previous products like the Money Ballpoint Pen and the Money Keyring indicates a strong market demand for such initiatives. As the company continues to develop new products, it is likely to inspire more consumers to embrace sustainable living while enjoying unique and meaningful items.

Where Inc., a startup, offers a service that uses AI trained on tens of thousands of images to detect signs of aging roofs, such as rust and discoloration.

A Rare Case of Cannabis-Induced Cardiac Arrest in a Young, Healthy Woman A 26-year-old woman from Georgia experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest after smoking marijuana. The incident occurred when her fiancé discovered her unconscious on the bathroom floor, prompting immediate emergency medical intervention. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors confirmed that she had suffered a cardiac arrest, where the heart suddenly stopped beating. The woman had no known pre-existing health conditions and tested negative for heart-related issues such as arrhythmia.

Doctors diagnosed her with ventricular fibrillation, a severe heart rhythm disorder that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. This led to what they described as a "cannabis-induced cardiac arrest." This case has rais...
