This mug is from Union Planters Bank, which was a large bank here in the region of the South. Just a few years ago, it was absorbed into the big banking conglomerate that is now Regions Bank. This mug honors their Y2K Project which, if my information is correct, is when they worked to make sure that all computers were able to take the date change to 2000 and not cause problems.
The mug is a single sided design which shows the bank's logo and 1998 in a LCD type font and of course, Y2K Project beneath it. 1998 was the year that the Y2K Project started. These mugs were given to workers who were employed with Union Planters at the time of the project and its completion.
When hot, the 1998 is supposed to disappear and the number 2000 appear incorporated with the logo. This mug is a bit old and shows some damage as both the numbers 1998 and the cover to the numbers 2000 do not disappear completely. It is still sentimental as I was a customer of Union Planters at that time and am still with Regions Bank today.
