Could anyone suggest a site that would give me a complete list of production series numbers for $1 and $2 notes?
Thanks for any help with this.

 with Steve. USPaperMoneyInfo. It has limited information on large size notes but has a wealth of accurate information for small size notes.  |

Thanks to all for the replies. The "Chronology of Small-Size Notes" list on the http://www.uspapermoney.info site from SteveInTampa has an amazing list. Just what I was looking for. |

Another website I occasionally use is the BEP monthly production figure page. https://www.moneyfactory.gov/resour...monthly.htmlWhen you click on any particular month, the DC facility is listed first followed by FW. I made a screenshot of a random month showing production figures for June 2016 from both facilities. Now, a trivia question for members....when viewing the charts, under NOTE SERIES, you will see a letter following the series date which is an "S" or a "G"...does anyone here know what the S or G designates ?   |

AFAIK, the letters ''S'' and ''G'' (there's also ''N'') stand for the design generation of the notes.
S: original smaller-portrait designs
G: for the latest colorized designs
N: for the previous non-color designs that were used between 1995 and 2013
Why the BEP has chosen the letters S/N/G...I don't know

Redlock is correct.
S is for standard (non-colorized) security paper, $1s and $2s
G is for colorized security paper
N is for non-colorized Big Head design.

Good question.
The BEP initiated this in May 2003 and has continued it since. Maybe it's an internal thing.

I prefer books to websites.
My go-to book is:
Collector's Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes: Series 1963-2009 by Robert Azpiazu
A bit dated now (only to 2009) but a newer edition is in the works.
Slightly older is:
The Collector's Guide to $1 FRN's: Series 1963-2003A by Robert Azpiazu
And for the slightly more obscure is:
The Standard Handbook of $1 Web-Fed Test Notes - 1988A, 1993 1995: Second Edition by Bob Kvederas Jr. & Bob Kvederas Sr.
