It's interesting how they used different styles of the digit 4 on the two coins.

You're right, I guess all the digits are a bit different on the two coins.

A 1945-P Jefferson War Nickel. I saw this in the tip jar at a local coffee house today and asked the young female barista if I could buy it out of the jar. She looked at me with a funny expression until I told her that I collect coins and saw an old one in there. She then nodded and said, "OK". I put in a dollar bill just so I could have a story to tell . . . or bore my wife.  Paul Bulgerin

Interesting. Why don't they just call it a penny instead of a twelfth of a shilling?

Jersey went decimal in 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_poundlife is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
