<p>[QUOTE="jody526, post: 188786, member: 578"]The word nickel referring to a U.S. five-cent coin is so called because it is made largely of nickel. But the five-cent nickel is not the only coin that has been made of nickel, or called a "nickel." The original "nickel" was a one-cent piece issued from 1857 to 1864; a three-cent nickel was minted from 1866 to 1883; and the now-familiar five-cent nickel (having various designs) since 1883.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
