In other words, any year ending in 9 (e.g., 1009, 109, 1209, etc.) would also produce this sequence as long as the year is specified only with one number.
Even if you limit it to 2009 (or 2007 as we will see in a bit) it will happen at least 24 times or more considering that the date could be the 8th of July, the 7th of August, and even the 9th of August 2007 in big-endian Asian countries and counting all the different time zones.
