As this note is not listed on SCWWPM, I was not aware of this note until recently. As per the heading, this note was issued to celebrate the millennium year. This note has a same design as P385. Now you might want to know how can one tell if this is millennium issue? Well, the only way one can tell is from the serial number. In order to differential from those already released, this note is specially printed with a prefix of YR20 and follow by 00xxx. As a commemorative issue, this note was released in a folder and a certificate of authentication. Only 1500 folders issued, thus making this a very special note.
