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, though in some cases with a gap due to a change in standard print run size. 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).

End Series 1974 $50

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 serial number range from A 057 60001 A to A 064 00000 A was reported by the BEP as belonging to Series 1969C, but observed notes are Series 1974.

The serial number range from H 051 20001 A to H 057 60000 A never appeared in the BEP reports. It appears that these notes were in fact printed, so I've added them to the table in approximately their correct location.

Likewise, the last two runs of Philadelphia star notes shown in the table were also never reported by the BEP. Notes from each of these two runs have been observed, so I've also added this serial range to the table in approximately its correct location.
