Dies anyone know if they changed the composition in the nickels yet. I've been saving my nickels and want to know if the 2013 nickels are still 75% copper 25% nickel still.
I'm sure if they did, you would have heard it by now- things like that are usually announced on the news or posted around here. That, and the RedBook always mentions a composition change.
The US Mint website states the following for the nickel: "Composition: Cupro-Nickel: 25% Ni, Balance Cu" at this link: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs...n=CircNickel I had read that a study was in progress to look at changing the composition of the cent and nickel since they both cost about 2X face to produce, but I have not read anything about the composition having been changed yet.
