Hey, you're right.  I just found the numbers 10 and 17 on the fives
that I have.  They are underlined and in the same blue colour as the
bill.  I would speculate that it may be the position of the note on
the plate.  I also noticed that there are numbers on the other side as
well just above the word "LE'GAL".  The numbers are 30 and 24
respectively.
