Salt Lake City has a couple "nickel arcades" left. The games are ancient and most have been converted to a pay card, but there is still a few of the games that require nickels to play!

Fifty years ago a 1939 Jefferson nickel was very comonplace, today not so much. My first Whitman Album was the Jefferson nickel, and in the early 1970s I was able to fill almost all the holes from circulation, including a 1950-D and most of the wartime silver nickels.


I agree.

However it might be noted that at any given time there are probably almost 10% as many 1939 nickels in circulation as there were in 1973. What makes them so much more difficult to find is that there are so many more nickels in circulation now.

These old nickels are forever being pulled out of circulation and then put back in. Most spend more time sitting on someone's desk than actually circulating.
