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. 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). When printing of this series began, serial numbers in each block ran all the way up to 99999999, but the maximum was later reduced to 99840000. Block changes which take place at 99840000 rather than 99999999 have been indicated in the table by a caret (<). Thus for example the B..E block runs up to B99999999E, followed by B00000001F; but the B..F block runs only up to B99840000F, followed by B00000001G.

End Series 1974 $20

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 Cleveland star run listed in italics is missing from the BEP reports. It appears that these notes were in fact printed, so I've inserted them into the table in approximately their correct location.
