That is: -1, -2, -3, etc. With the 123456 and 789120 solution, the 1 in either die can be used as a “dash” so that two die could still be used to represent the first 9 days.

Dice A: zero-one-two-three-seven-eight
Dice B: zero-one-two-four-five-six

The six can be used as a nine as well.

You can't form "07", "08" and "09" with your solution. @Jan

You can’t form “07″, “08″ and “09″ with your solution.

So: you need to have "0" on one or both dices. Oh, and may I point out that the digits are Arabic, and not represented by numbers of dots? @Clopin and @Inferis:
