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 March 1961 and March 1963.

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 1950B. All complete blocks run from 00000001 to 99999999, with the 100,000,000th note replaced by a star note. Notice that gaps of 280,000 serials occur frequently in the star notes; these are due to the print runs of mixed regular and star notes that are necessary to complete each block of regular notes (since 100,000,000 notes equals 277 7/9 print runs of 360,000 notes each).

Notes

The ending serial number for Kansas City is given in the BEP's records as J 126 00000 B, but higher serials have been observed.

The notes with serials C 092 40001 * through C 092 60000 * are all inverted star errors: the star in the right-hand serial number is oriented point-downwards. The BEP accidentally numbered an entire print run with one star installed incorrectly in a numbering wheel.
