The numbers in the table are the first and last notes printed in the given month for the given FRB. Colors indicate notes printed at Washington, DC or Fort Worth, TX. All serial numbers in this series begin with B. Serial numbers above 96000000 are not used; thus for example BE96000000A is followed by BE00000001B.

This series was the first issue of the redesigned $5 FRN. These notes were first released into circulation on May 24, 2000.

End Series 1999 $5

The BEP reports never listed run #3 of the Atlanta star notes and run #4 of the Richmond star notes, instead skipping to the next run for each district, in early 2000. I'm not sure whether these runs were actually skipped over, or just accidentally omitted from the reports (though the extra Richmond run #3 noted below may be related?).

It has recently been discovered, through an analysis of plate positions, that run #3 of the Richmond star notes was actually printed twice: once as a 256,000-note run (in March 2000) and once as a 384,000-note run. The date of the additional printing is uncertain, but I've added it to the table in approximately its correct location. It appears that this numbering error actually resulted in the first 256,000 serials of the run being duplicated.
