Wouldn't that also work with IXIVIII on the die? How do you print IX with yours? An improvement would be IXIVIII actually, then all combinations can be located

  In most serif typefaces, one of the glyphs is significantly thicker than the other, and they don't meet exactly at 50% height. If one rotates the letter X 180 degrees, it would look out of place. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Capitalis_monumentalis_X.SVG https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Capitali...

No, because you need a 5th V for IV. Adding a V is more overhead than adding a I, and will give you 3 V's you have no use for.
