1938, at the Denver mint only. 1937 was the last year of full production at all 3 mints.
Production was scheduled to end in 1937 but the new Jefferson design wasn't quite ready by the start of 1938. The Mint then made stopgap plans to mint 1938-dated buffalo nickels at Denver and San Francisco. Dies were prepared for both mints, but work on the Jefferson design went faster than expected so no San Francisco coinage was needed. The dies were sent to Denver for re-use; however the "S" mint mark was improperly removed from some of them before the "D" was added, resulting in a "D over S" error variety.
The last silver Canadian 5-cent pieces were minted in 1921.
However, they only used the name "nickel" for the new nickel-metal coins made starting in 1922. The previous coins were simply "5-cent pieces".

Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo* nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938. [*] Nickels depicting an Indian head on one side and a buffalo on the other are called Indian head nickels OR buffalo nickels, but not "buffalo head" nickels because they show the entire buffalo, not just its head. Check that coin again. The last year for buffalo nickels was 1938.

The value of buffalo nickels will vary depending on the age and condition of the coin. These coins were minted from 1913 to 1938, at three different mints, and values can vary widely. If the date is worn off, the coin is called a "cull" and is only worth 10 or 15 cents. If the date is visible, please see questions "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?" for specific information.
Check that date again, because the last year for buffalo nickels was 1938.
