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 September 1957 and June 1961.

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 1950A. 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 notes with serials G 059 20001 * through G 059 40000 * are all inverted star errors: the star in the left-hand serial number is oriented point-downwards. The BEP accidentally numbered an entire print run with one star installed incorrectly in a numbering wheel.
