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. Serial numbers above 96000000, or ending with letters O or Z, are not used; thus for example D96000000A is followed by D00000001B, and L96000000N is followed by L00000001P.

Uncut sheets of non-star notes were released for this series, with serial numbers from the regular production ranges.

The $1 notes of this series were the first currency to be printed in 50-subject-sheet format.

End Series 2013 $1
Bushmaster pre ban serial number date

In early 2015, runs #1, #2, and #3 of the New York star notes began to appear in circulation, even though they had not been reported by the BEP. A FOIA request brought confirmation of the run lengths of the Washington printings shown in the table above. The June and July 2016 production reports then listed those three runs again, this time as Fort Worth products. Notes from all three Fort Worth runs have been seen in circulation, and in fact industrious collectors have actually assembled several pairs of Washington and Fort Worth notes with identical serials!

Runs #1 and #2 of the Boston star notes were also never reported by the BEP, but notes representing two full runs have likewise been observed. Both runs share similar plate numbers, so they were likely printed at the same time.

In 2012, Fender has transitioned the numbering scheme again with the new serial number starting with “JD” followed by an eight-digit number with “Made in Japan” decals. If your serial number starts with “JD” followed by an eight-digit number, the first two digits designates the year of manufacture. 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. Serial numbers above 96000000, or ending with letters O or Z, are not used; thus for example D96000000A is followed by D00000001B, and L96000000N is followed by L00000001P.

Run #4 of the Chicago star notes was reported as ending at G 098 50000 *, but higher serials have been observed. The estimated ending serial given in the table is a bit of a wild guess; reports of additional notes that would help to pin down the length of this run would be helpful.

Each Federal Reserve note includes identifiers that provide information about the note, such as designating the year in which the note’s design was approved. Learn about these note identifiers by clicking on the image below.


Serial Number

A unique combination of eleven numbers and letters appears twice on the front of the note. Each note has a unique serial number. The first letter of the serial number corresponds to the series year.

A “star” suffix is used to identify notes that serve as replacements during the production process. If you'd like to learn more about the U.S. currency production process, please visit https://www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/howmoneyismade.html.

Series Year

The series year indicates the year in which a new design was approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, or the year in which the signature of a new secretary or treasurer was incorporated into the design. Capital letters following the series year appear when there is a significant change in the note's appearance.

Federal Reserve Indicators

For denominations $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, the note has a letter and number designation that corresponds to one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. The letter of each indicator matches the second letter of the serial number on the note.

For denominations $1 and $2, the note includes a seal that identifies one of the 12 Federal Reserve banks.

Note Position Letter and Number

For denominations $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, the note position letter and number indicates in which position on a plate a note was printed. It is a combination of one letter and one number and can be found on the front of the note.

In 2014, the BEP began printing $1 notes on 50-subject sheets. For these larger sheets, the note position is identified by columns and rows rather than by quadrants. Note position identifiers on the 50-subject sheet ranges from A1 – J5.

Please view this video to learn more about the 50-subject production change.

Face and Back Plate Numbers

The face plate and back plate numbers identify the printing plates used to print each side of the note. The face plate number is found on the face of the note and the back plate number is found on the back.

Federal Reserve notes printed at the Fort Worth, Texas, facility of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing include a small “FW” in front of the face-plate number.

Treasury Seal

Bushmaster Serial Number L226599

A green seal to the right of the portrait represents the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The design of the seal was changed to incorporate an English inscription and appears on all Federal Reserve notes of the 1969 series year or later.
