The numbers in the table are the first and last notes printed in the given month for the given FRB. In some cases, consecutive months have been merged due to fragmentary BEP data available. Serial numbering in this series does not begin at 00000001A in each district, but rather continues on from the last serial used for Series 1969C. Colors indicate the production method: COPE notes are listed in black and conventional ones in green (for an explanation, see the page on COPE and conventional serials). When printing of this series began, serial numbers in each block ran all the way up to 99999999, but the maximum was later reduced to 99840000. Block changes which take place at 99840000 rather than 99999999 have been indicated in the table by a caret (<). Thus for example the G..C block runs up to G99999999C, followed by G00000001D; but the D..B block runs only up to D99840000B, followed by D00000001C.

| End Series 1974 $5 | ||||||||||||||
Data prior to August 1976 is from a single secondary source and may be doubtful in places, especially regarding the timing of some of the star runs.
The Boston range shown in italics is listed as conventional in some sources and COPE in others. Reports of actual notes which would settle the production method of this range would be appreciated.
A gap of 160,000 serials exists in the L..* printings, but it is not known whether this gap falls in run 21 or run 22.
Many (likely all) of the notes with serials J 361 20001 B through J 361 40000 B are mismatched serial errors: In the right-hand serial number, the second digit '6' is replaced by a '5'.
