Fox Pillar of the Community 708 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 12:54 am Hey, I was just at my local Walmart, and I checked the CoinStar machine to see what some people might have left behind as rejects, and found a few cruddy Zincolns and this odd Canadian nickel with two dates and a torch on the back. The dates are 1945 and 2005, so, is there anything special about this nickel? I'm guessing since it was made after 2000, it is Mult-Ply plated steel? Another question is, should I store my cupro-nickel Canadian nickels mixed in with my U.S. nickels, since the U.S. nickels are Cupro-nickel? Oh, and one more thing. Is there anything special about 1950s-1980s Canadian pennies? Or are they just all copper? Report this Post to the Staff

Alloy: 94.5% steel, 3.5% copper and 2% nickel. Mintage was 59,258,000. The V is for victory and also the Roman numeral 5. Report this Post to the Staff
1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 05:52 am The original 1945 commemorative (see my avatar) was a chrome plated steel core coin. The 2005 coin is a tribute to the WW2 veterans via the 1945 design. Edited by 1945V 05/14/2014 05:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
