Today's date is a rare palindrome that hasn't happened in over 900 years
02/02/2020 has the unique distinction of reading the same backward and forward when written out in eight digits.
But even more rare, it's an international palindrome: It works whether you write the date as "Month/Day/Year" or "Day/Month/Year," as many countries do.
The last time such a palindrome occurred was on 11/11 in the year 1111 more than 900 years ago.
