In my resources and in some images of yen bills, I have noticed some kanji used that say one two or three. But they aren't 一 二 三

They are:

壱 弐 参

I found them to be read as ichi ni san and mean 1 2 3. But I'm really lost here... sweatdrop confused Can some help explain them and how they are used?

These kanji aren't used in everyday speach, only in legal-speak, like in court, federal bills, legal documents, the like.
