The current design of the $5 bill was officially released to circulation on March 13, 2008.

Also, because the Western Currency Facility's $100 bills were never issued at this time, the first Series 2006 notes for the Federal Reserve Districts of Dallas and San Francisco would have the serial numbers "HK 92800001 A" and "HL 28800001 D". There were also 6.4 million notes for the district of Kansas City that were skipped.
