Israel 5 Agorot AM(5)727 - or 1967.

I think I have the year right. I'm not good with hebrew numbers
and I'm not positive I got the last digit (which is on the left)
correct.

Wow - I was off by a bit, heh. I was thinking some Asian country.
China, Japan and South Korea have aluminum coins and I figured this
was just another country in that area that I couldn't think of. Guess
not!

Anyway, thanks!

Israel is in Asia, so you were not off at all.

Well, Southeast Asia. Personally, I consider the Middle East a region
distinct from mainland Asia just as Europe is often considered a
region distinct from mainland Asia.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but except for the two island
continents, the exact boundaries between continents are the result of
history and politics. Central America could have gone either way.
But you have to draw the lines somewhere. The Middle East is a region
of, but not "distinct from mainland Asia." It's entirely contiguous
with the main body of Asia. OTOH, Japan is in Asia and we don't refer
to it as "Japanese Asia," even though it's an island off of mainland
Asia. "Southeast Asia" is the proper and accurate description you
needed.

Check out a compass rose, Gentlemen, and you will find that the Middle
"East" is in SouthWEST Asia.

The Middle East is still in Asia, no matter how you care to spin the facts,
just like the Midwest is in North America. But if you insist, Israel is in
SouthWEST Asia.

Yeah, I've often scratched my head over that too. It may come from
the Brits or other west Europeans, for whom Southeast Asia and even
central Asia was the "Far East". I guess they never got around to
defining the "Near East" which presumably would have included parts of
the Balkans because their culture had strong influences from across
the Bosporus. All of these terms are political/cultural, so they're
not strictly based in geography science.

Just because I live in Maine, don't call me a Yankee! That's a
derogatory term around here.
