Otherwise known as palindrome date, today's day, February 2, 2020, does not change if it is also read from left to right.
It's a rare date that only happens a few times over millennia. For all the countries that transcribe dates by setting day, then month, and then year, like us, there are only 366 palindrome days over 10,000 years.
In this century it had happened several more times; as 10.02.2001, 20.02.2002, 01.02.2010, 11.02.2011 and 21.02.2012. Next will be February 9, 2092, and the last, before a break of several centuries, will be December 29, 2192. After that date, we will have to wait for the year 3000 (more precisely 10.03.3001).
This time, the anniversary is even more detailed: 02.02.2020 is a palindrome date also for Anglo-Saxon conventions (which use the formula of month, day, year). An event that has not happened since the Middle Ages, from 11.11.1111.
