My poor dad was born on February 29th. He died at 72 year, but only had 18 birthdays.

There has been one in the past.

“There has been one, and only one February 30: in Sweden (which included Finland): 30 February 1712. That same day was reckoned as 29 February 1712 in those countries who still used the Julian calendar, and 11 March 1712 in those which had adopted the Gregorian calendar.

This was done so that the next day, Sweden could rejoin the Julian calendar on its 01 March 1712. Sweden would follow the Julian calendar until 17 February (Julian) 1753, jumping the next day to 01 March (Gregorian) 1753.

Sweden, which until 28 February 1700 had used the Julian calendar, had skipped 29 February 1700, with the intention, which it abandoned later, to make a gradual transition towards the Gregorian calendar (by skipping 29 February every 4 years until it found itself synchronized with the Gregorian calendar.

Thus, from 29 February (Julian) or 11 March (Gregorian) 1700, until 28 February (Julian) or 10 March (Gregorian) 1712, Sweden (which at the time included Finland) used a calendar which was one day ahead of the Julian calendar and 10 days behind the Gregorian calendar. “
