This contest isn't only for old hippies!

The Six-Day War, also known as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Six Days War, or June War, was fought between Israel and the nearby Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria. The war was initiated by an Israeli response to Egyptian aggression, when Israel launched a preemptive attack against Egypt. Jordan in turn attacked the Israeli cities of Jerusalem and Netanya. At the war's end, Israel had gained control of the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day.

Found this on wikipedia, seemed pretty relevant to then and now. It was called the 6 day war because you just don't mess with the Israeli's. They don't play.

Can I guess that Banivechi was born in 1967?

Now since this is a numismatic forum, here comes a coin that was minted in that year:

1967 was the year of the Canadian centenial and these coins.



I remember getting a cent that summer during a visit to Chrystal Beach Ont.

1967 Plymouth GTX, with a Hemi of course

In 1967 my Canadian uncle gave me this coin along with three total sets of centennial coins:



I was supposed to give two of the sets to my sisters but instead I put them in a plastic box padded with cotton and paper towels. Then I wrapped the box with duct tape for safety, took it home and promptly forgot it until last year. My sisters still haven't gotten their coins...

I was right, the last silver gulden and 2.5 gulden coins were struck in 1967

1967 was the first time that two people appeared (hm, were depicted) on a commem of the Federal Republic of Germany - Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt.

In 1967 Cunard's RMS Queen Mary was withdrawn from Transaltantic crossings having debuted on the route in 1936. Her construction along with a few other new ships had packed off former Tranatlantic stalwarts to scrapyards, notably; RMS Mauretania (the Lusitania's sister) & RMS Olympic (the Titanic's sister). The Queen Mary was also used for filming in part of the original Posidon Adventure, and is now moored at Long Beach, California.

Also on April 25 1967, keeping on the maritime theme i'm on today, James Groves Boxhall 4th (and last surviving) Officer of the Titanic died. He also helped as a technical assistant on the 1958 Film a Night to Remember.
