No. If you have one, the most likely case is that it's a normal nickel* that someone plated. In that case it'll weigh just about the same amount as a normal nickel. The other and less likely possibility is that it was struck on a planchet (blank) intended for a foreign coin. In that case it will almost certainly weigh a different amount. You'd need to have it examined in person by a dealer or other expert. (*) I had to change your question so it would show up correctly in searches. The coin is a nickEL rather than a nickLE.

All nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45 are made of 25% nickel and 75% copper. If your coin is copper colored it was either plated or exposed to something like heat or a chemical that caused it to tarnish.

∙ 14y agoYes. However, the House of Representatives recently passed a bill allowing for pennies and nickels to be made of steel. It is not law yet so nickels are still 75% copper.
