<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 24718395, member: 104064"]If you've ever seen a water buffalo or Cape buffalo you know that bison and buffalo are two completely different animals, but people are probably never going to stop calling it a buffalo nickel. I'm not sure why, now that I think about it. Do you ever hear somebody talking about the buffalo they saw in Yellowstone? I think most people know now that they're bison. And yet the misnomer for the nickel lives on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
