hammerrob Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 09:50 am I didn't realize that was the first steel Canadian coin, but I certainly knew that these days they are all steel core. The Canadian coins stick to the magnets in our coin counters, that nickel was part of $1.82 Canadian on the magnet ... next time I visit Canada I'm cashing in all I've collected. The other recent interesting Canada find was a breast cancer awareness quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

Raligard Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 01:34 am Similar to the way the US 1943 steel pennies deteriorated when circulated. I've never seen a circulated Canada steel nickel before. Interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
