As a consequence of changes made to the real rules governing the Roman numeral system, introduced during the Middle Ages, nowadays the equivalent of 1999 when converted into Roman numerals are officially MCMXCIX which inhibits their ability to interact conducively with other numerals.
But there is historical evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have worked out the equivalent of 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and then abridged them logically to IMM (2000-1) in written format.
Indeed if we were to format MCMXCIX as M+CM+XC+IX they too would add up to IMM as follows:-
M+CM = CMM
CMM+XC = XMM
XMM+IX = IMM
