0121 -> 0*/1*/2*/1 using SED?

As per the title, though the number could be any length.

Code:

# current=0123
# echo $current
0123
# echo $current | sed 's/\([0-9]\)\([0-9]\)/\1*\/\2/g'
0*/123

I would understand this outcome if I'd not used the Global switch, but I was expecting (and hoping for):

Code:

0*/1*/2*/3

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?!
