No national government has ever issued wooden nickels. They are usually from businesses, occasionally from a community, and are an advertisement. They have also been "issued" by political candidates, but these do not have a monetary value except as a collectable.
Canada has never issued a Halfpenny or half cent coin since Confederation.
Prior to Confederation, any Halfpenny coins circulating in what was to become Canada would have been British Halfpennies. British coins do not have the country name on them.
Until Confederation, private banks such as the Bank of Upper Canada and the Bank of Montreal, issued their own coins and some of the provinces such as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia issued their own coins. All of these coins will indicate the origin of the coin.
Wooden Nickels was created in 2000.
No, Canadian nickels can only be spent inside Canada so they're not sent to other countries.
They did not.

The only US nickels to ever have any silver in them are the "War Nickels" of 1942-1945.
No US nickels have ever been pure silver, the "war nickels" of 1942-1945 are 35% silver and are the only nickels to have any silver. Post new question.
On the older nickels he is facing left. In the newer nickels he is facing forward and slightly to the right. Had you ever considered getting some nickels at a bank and looking at them, LOL?
NO Never!
The only nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" minted during WWII when nickel was a strategic metal. All other nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

U.S. dimes were 90% silver through 1964. The only nickels to ever contain silver are "war nickels," dated 1942-1945, distinguished by the large mint mark on the back.
