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 Treasury between March 1961 and April 1962.
The table below shows the serial number ranges produced for the regular and star notes in this series. Serial numbering continues on from the last serial used for Series 1953A. 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).
Regular Notes | Star Notes |
---|---|
F 720 00001 A - F 861 96000 A | * 280 80001 A - * 284 ????? A |
F 861 96001 A - F 999 99999 A | * 284 ????? A - * 313 20000 A |
G 000 00001 A - G 450 00000 A |
The highlighted ranges were printed but not released. These notes were still in the Treasury's possession when the decision was made to discontinue the Silver Certificates altogether, so they were destroyed unissued.
There should be a 280,000-serial gap in the numbering of the star notes in this series, corresponding to the completed block of regular notes; but I do not have information on where this gap falls.
