Always found this style of serial number interesting. Why do they do it like that?

Greg,
All zero serial numbers are usually reserved for Specimen notes in most countries.

Having the number in the bottom left hand corner is intended for the notes being sold as matching numbered sets.Unfortunately,the guy who sold me these Specimen notes mixed up the numbers from 3 different sets,& forgot to include the 10 Tala Specimen note for the 2008 issue.

Aidan.

No I mean how it goes from a small number to a larger number, size wise, not value wise.

Greg,
It is part of improving the security features to combat forgery.

Quite a few countries use this type of serial number for their current banknote issues,especially their paper issues.
