The numbers in the table are the first and last notes printed in the given month for the given FRB. In a few cases, consecutive months have been merged due to fragmentary BEP data available. 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).
In addition to the circulation-issue notes listed in the tables, uncut sheets with higher serials were released for this series (all with conventional serials). Some sheets of star notes from the regular printings have been released as well.
This series was the first issue of the $2 FRN. These notes were first released into circulation on April 13, 1976.

Many of the notes with serials B 454 20001 A through B 454 40000 A are mismatched prefix errors: The 'B' in the left-hand serial number is replaced by an 'H'. But at least one normal note is known from this serial range as well.
