Table Two – Banking Addendum Table
DANGER DATE DEFINITION
Friday, Jan. 7, 2000 First weekly payday.
Friday, Jan. 14, 2000 First semi-monthly payday.
Monday, Jan. 31, 2000 First Monthly payday. First Monthly close.

Sunday, June 30, 2002 Last day European national currencies are acceptable.

Table Two above shows dates that are critical to accounting or banking software. If a computer assumes “00″ is 1900 instead of the year 2000, the day of the week will be off for such things as weekly, semi-monthly and monthly paydays, etc. The last two days of this table are reminder dates for organizations such as banks that may be trading in various European currencies. It could be very costly if traders miscalculate the last day of that type of trading. (14)
