Please don't assume that every older coin must be made of silver. Until they were recently changed to plated steel, Canadian nickels were minted in 99.9% nickel metal.

If you think about it for a few seconds, like their American counterparts Canadian nickels are larger than dimes. If the coin had been made of silver it would have had a face value of 5 cents but be worth more than 10 cents (!?)
