You can either look through your pocket change or check at the US Mint's website to find out that the nickel was redesigned in 2006. A new, forward-facing portrait of Jefferson was chosen for the front side of the coin, while the original image of Monticello returned to the reverse after being replaced for 2 years during the Westward Journey series.
In any case, any 2006 or later-dated nickels you find in change are only worth a nickel. There are no known errors or rarities.
Yep....... a nickel
It is a 2004 Jefferson Nickel of the Westward Journey of Lewis and Clark series.
Unless it's proof or uncirculated, 5 cents. It's a Jefferson nickel not a Monticello nickel.
Monticello is the name of the home of Thomas Jefferson and is located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The building on the reverse side of the Jefferson Nickel is Monticello.
yes
Well, from 1938-2003, there was not a single change to the Jefferson Nickel in terms of appearance, so in 2004-2005 they released the "Westward Journey" series of quarters to commemorate Lewis and Clark's journey to the west. In 2006, the Monticello returned to the reverse of the quarter. The Mint never made any "Westward Journey" Quarters only Nickels, the first change in the design was in 1966 when the designer's initials were added to the obverse and in 1968 the Mintmark was moved to the obverse as with all US coins. Monticello was returned to the reverse along with a facing portrait of Jefferson in 2006.

FS does not identify a nickel except to say that it's a Jefferson nickel. That's the monogram of Felix Schlag, who designed the original Jefferson nickel in 1938. Except for the Westward Journey series coins dated 2005, all nickels minted in the last 45 years carry his initials. Up till 2004 they're under the fold of Jefferson's coat, and from 2006 on they're on the back next to Monticello.
That would be any Jefferson nickel dated 1938-2003 or 2006-present, as the coins feature Monticello on the reverse side (Monticello was Jefferson's house).
