Millennium is colored a pretty magenta color and sports an embroidered Sun rising over the Earth on the new millennia, 2000. Millennium can be a very expensive bear if they have mistakes. Such as, "Millennium" improperly spelled as "Millenium". Millennium's birthday is January 1st, 1999, which is also the day that they were first introduced to the public. I think it's kind of weird that they released Millennium so early in 1999. Millennium was discontinued on November 12th, 1999.
Millennium's Tag Poem:
A brand new century has come to call
Health and happiness to one and all
Bring on the fireworks and all the fun
Let's keep the party going 'til 2001!
On August 15th, 1999, at a Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees baseball game, Millennium Bear was given out to children. On September 26th, 1999, at a Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game, 40,000 Millennium Bears were given out. A Teenie Beanie version of Millennium bear was introduced to McDonald's Happy Meals on June 13, 2000. There were many counterfeit versions of Millennium as well, but they are very easily identified by the fact that their "Tush Tag" isn't holographic like the original Beanie Babies.
