In November 2005 MTA issued Happy Holidays 30-days unlimited metrocard with extension for 10 more days. So, that customers could start to use it on November 23 through January 1, 2006. Card was issued only as 30-days unlimited version. About 300,000 were made and less than half were sold. Unsold metrocards were destroyed. The rest were mostly abused and it is not easy to find this card in good condition. There have been a leaflet and a brochure published for the occasion.
