in (the year of) two thousand three
Смотри вопрос-ответ:

When referring to a large number, such as "2003," do you say "two
thousand
three" or "two thousand and three"?

If they're both correct, is one preferred in American English or by
certain groups such as the APA?

Answer:

Hello,

Saying two thousand three would be the correct way to refer to the
year 2003. When saying two thousand and three, you are really saying
$2000.03 (the AND denoting a decimal point and unless you make it
clear that you are not talking about money, it would me .03 instead of
.3).

Many people use them interchangeably however, and in American English
as it is used today, there is not really a big difference between the
two.

So basically, all you have to remember is that “and” is usually
reserved for decimal places, and in most writing styles if the word
form is more than two words, you put the actual numerical number (not
the word form).

two thousand and three is ok (esp. for UK, ref. to BBC)
a esli uzhe za desyatok perevalilo, to luchshe "twenty eleven" "twenty twenty" (for 2011, 2020 etc)
