1/16 These are four independent events each with a 1/2 probability. The probability that all four occur (penny and nickels heads and dime and quarter tails) is: 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=(1/2)4=1/16.
The only U.S. nickels to ever have silver in them were minted from the latter part of 1942 until the end of the 1945 minting year. These nickels are identified by the very large mint mark located on the reverse (tails) side of the coin above the dome of Monticello.

This coin is smaller than a present day dime.
