At work I do some dates with YR/MO/DA so I am looking to November 2, 2020: 201102

Though YEAR/MO/DA for February will be pretty cool too: 20200202

Oh right, people really care a lot about numbers. Something magical when there are a lot of the same numbers in a day / date. I imagine there will be a lot of weddings that day. Maybe even forced births.

11/02/2011 says hello (and in Europe, 21/02/2012 works, too)
Actually, November second was skipped in 2011 due to a clerical error. Several clerical errors, really. Turns out these kinds of mistakes are common within governments, but usually when just one country screws up the rest correct it. But on that particular (non)day, every single country on the UN Calendar Council skipped the date, and so the rest of the world just played along with it. There have only been two such coincidental mistakes since the UN was founded in 1945: this one made on November 3rd 2011 and the opposite error made on the second June 14th in 1986.
