Indirectly, yes. 1964 was the Year of the Great Coin Shortage. Silver had been deregulated and the value shot up to the point where it was profitable (sometimes very profitable) to melt coins for their metal value, so people were taking dimes, quarters, and halves out of circulation in huge numbers and selling them to metal dealers. To help people make change until the new clad coinage could be introduced in 1965, the Mint churned out oceans of nickels. When stores ran out of quarters or half dollars you were very likely to get change in the form of a fistful of nickels and pennies!
