I noticed that the thread with this question had no answers in it and I thought that maybe you all may not have been able to access it. I can't, I just get a blank screen.

So anyways my question: I noticed in some of my resources and on some images of yen bills, there are kanji. When I looked them up they were numbers BUT they weren't like (一 二 三). They were (壱 弐 参) so I was wondering, these have the same readings and meanings right? Then how do we use them and why are they there and not just use the first example I shouwed?

first you do not use japanese kanj i numbers regurarily (i have explained this already so i am not again) but you have too know them......

those are use in old documents and the second form of ichi is written on the 10,000 en

the are very fomral (no you do not use if formal writing) the are used rarely. they are also(sorry for inventing english) "buisnessy"
