About US Nickels

Prior to the Coinage Act of May 16, 1866, which sanctioned the production of the nickel, five cent coins were known as half dimes. Nickels, which were first produced in 1866, are larger than half dimes and are made of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. They completely replaced half dimes by 1873.

Nickel designs include Shield nickels, Liberty Head nickels, Buffalo nickels, and Jefferson nickels (which are still in use today).
