The new nickels feature a sort of oblique profile of Jefferson's face forward of the ears, and very little hair or neck showing. The face of the nickel is plain, with only "In God We Trust", and the word "Liberty" in script.
Here's some info on the new nickels, so you can make sure this is what you have:

AnswerIf you think about it for a minute or two, how likely is it that the portrait would be incorrect when all of the other elements of the design (date, motto, inscription, etc) are correctly oriented?You'll find that all 2005 nickels look like that. The 3/4 profile portrait is just not what we are accustomed to seeing on coins.
"Printed"FWIW, coins are said to be "struck" or "minted". Printing usually refers to paper and ink.Yes. It's a revised, modernistic portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The partial image is NOT an error.
Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd president of the United States, appears on nickels made since 1938. There are 3 different portraits - a full portrait facing left, used from 1938 to 2004, a modernistic partial portrait facing right, used in 2005 only, and a forward facing portrait since 2006 From 1913 to early 1938 the nickel bore the stylized portrait of a Native American chief From 1883 to 1912 it had a picture of Miss Liberty. From 1866 to early 1883 it didn't have a portrait. There was a picture of a federal shield.
There is no rule that requires the president's picture to be displayed, but I would guess that somewhere in most public schools there is a picture of the president on display.
???? There is no such coin. 1803 cents carried a portrait of Miss Liberty. No U.S. coin has ever had a picture of a buffalo's head. Nickels from 1913-38 had the full side image. The "200" may be a partial date, in which case your coin is from this century. Please check again and post a more specific and accurate question.
