A breakdown of this series by date of production is not presently available. According to BEP records, notes of this series were delivered to the Federal Reserve between December 1954 and August 1957.

The table below shows the serial number ranges produced for the regular and star notes in this series. Serial numbering does not begin at 00000001A in each district, but rather continues on from the last serial used for Series 1950, though with a gap due to the change from 12-subject to 18-subject printing.

Notes

Many partial runs with internal gaps exist in the star notes, but it is not known exactly which runs are partial or exactly how long the gaps are. Many of the star note serial ranges and printage totals given here are thus rather rough estimates.

The second star run for district G is known to be 4000 sheets, with gaps of 4000 serials between positions. At least some of the serials in the gaps were later used for Series 1950B star notes, so that some 1950B stars have lower serials than some 1950A stars in district G.
