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 May 1953 and August 1957.

The table below shows the serial number ranges produced for the regular and star notes in this series. 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 run of regular notes (since 100,000,000 notes equals 277 7/9 print runs of 360,000 notes each).
