Not to worry. The 11th of November, 2011 is a Saturday. No one will be working that day. :-)
For this customer 11/11/11 in the date field means, don't process this record, which will obviously cause problems with legitimate transactions on that date.
I suspect using a new field to flag a state, instead of "special" data, would have been more appropriate.
