A while back I posted these, but I never get an answer to how I can tell if it's an actual error. Both have the same serial #.

uh oh... I think I responded to this... or did I not?

These notes are printed with block numbers, as they were the first series after WWII and when Japan chronically needed small change.

The serial numbers mean:

1st number: Issued by the Finance department (1) or treasury (2)
2nd to last number: printing contractor
Last number: printing contractor's factory number

The numbers in between, in your case the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are the block/run numbers.

So yeah, these are not errors. The 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen and 100 yen (although it has an extra serial) from this series all have the same numbering scheme.
