I absolutely love the history behind the coins. It's one of my favorite subjects to study. It really allows you to appreciate your collection that much more

Third paragraph is popular fiction, and they say that the word CENTS was added the following year which is not correct. It was added that same year creating three different varieties of nickel in 1883, Shield, V with no CENTS, and V with CENTS.
