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 1965 and July 1967.

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 1950D. 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).

The last print run of B..* notes in this series was a partial one, containing only 11,000 sheets instead of the usual 20,000. Therefore, the last 9,000 of each 20,000 serial numbers in this run were skipped. That is, serials B 298 80001 * through B 298 91000 * were printed, B 298 91001 * through B 299 00000 * were skipped, B 299 00001 * through B 299 11000 * were printed, and so on to the last serial number actually used, B 302 31000 *. (Note that this is opposite to the convention adopted later for such partial print runs, in which the omitted serials occur at the beginning of each group of 20,000 within the run.)
