When did the nickel come out of the Canadian nickel?
1922, 1942, 1951, 1981. "The nickel's composition has changed several times, most notably during World War II and the Korean War when nickel was redirected to the war effort. In 1942 and 1943, the coins were minted in tombac, a copper-zinc alloy; in 1944 and 1945, and again from 1951 to 1954, coins were made of steel which was plated twice, first with nickel and then chromium. The plating was applied before the blanks were struck, so the edges of these coins are dull or even rusted. The composition was returned to pure nickel after both wars. More recently, in 1981, the same copper-nickel alloy used in the American coin was adopted in the Canadian coin, with the ironic result that the nickel then contained less nickel than any other circulating Canadian coin except the cent. In 2000, along with all other circulating Canadian coins, the composition was further debased to nickel-plated steel; this plating does cover the coin's edge." Ref Wikipedia
When were Canadian coins struck in nickel?
Nickel has been used in different denominations of Canadian coins at many different times. A full list of specific dates would be quite complicated, but as a general rule:5¢ coins were struck in nickel from 1922 to 1999, with exceptions for wartime issues and some other part-year composition changes.10¢ to 50¢ coins were struck in nickel from mid-1968 to 1999$1 coins were struck in brass-plated nickel from 1987 to 2012$2 coins used nickel in their outer ring from 1996 to 2011Since those dates, Canadian coins have changed to a special steel composition and nickel is only used as plating.
What is considered the front of a Canadian nickel?
Not what, but WHO - a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States, appears on the front of the US nickel. Check out the U.S. Mint website www.usmint.gov for information about other coins.
How much nickel is left?
The U.S. five cent piece, or "Nickel" is actually only 25% nickel and 75% copper. It weighs exactly 5 grams, so there is 1 1/4 grams of nickel in one. In 2007 the combined value of the nickel and copper in a five cent piece exceeded 9 cents, making it feasable to sell the coins for melt at a profit. Anticipating this, in 2006 the US Mint adopted new "interim rule" regulations making it illegal to melt and export cents and nickels. When Canadian nickels were introduced in 1922, they were made entirely of nickel unlike their American counterpart. Various other compositions have been used since, and currently the Canadian nickel is nickel-plated steel.
Is the Canadian shield a province?
No. The Canadian Shield is not a province but a landform somewhat in the shape of a shield. If you look at a map of Canada, you may notice the great lakes. If you look to the west and then toward the north west toward the Arctic other lakes continue the pattern of the great lakes. If you look to the east of the great lakes you will notice the St. Lawrence River opens up something like a large lake. Those lakes provide the border of the Canadian Shield. It was an area numerous glaciers scraped clean. It also contains the oldest surface rock in North America. (Newer rock probably once graced its land. It became terminal moraines such as Long Island, New York.) The Shield is found in several provinces.
