Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMXXV1

Is MCMXXV1 the same as MCMXXVI?

No. MCMXXV1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXXVI.

Wrong: MCMXXIV

Is MCMXXIV also 1926?

No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMXXIV is 1924.

Wrong: MDCCCCXXVI

Why not MDCCCCXXVI?

A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXXVI.
