Cool find. 
with Westernsky. This error happens when the numbering wheel for a banknote's serial number fails to advance correctly. If one of the digits advances only partially (or a little too far) and is not aligned with the others, then the stuck digit error occurs which is also known as a gas pump error since it resembles pricing on the older (non digital) mechanical gas pumps. Yes usually there is only a slight alignment issue (minor) and even those sell for a bit over face value but arent rare, but sometimes like yours part of the digit might be truncated, or part of the adjacent number on the wheel might even be seen and those should have higher desirability to collectors and bring in potentially a higher value.
If one of the digits gets stuck but all the digits in the serial number still appear to be aligned correctly, then a Mismatched Serial Number Error occurs. A check of the other serial number will show the discrepancy.
