Nickel has been used in different denominations of Canadian Coins at many different times. A full list of specific dates would be quite complicated, but as a general rule:
- 5¢ coins were struck in nickel from 1922 to 1999, with exceptions for wartime issues and some other part-year composition changes.
- 10¢ to 50¢ coins were struck in nickel from mid-1968 to 1999
- $1 coins were struck in brass-plated nickel from 1987 to 2012
- $2 coins used nickel in their outer ring from 1996 to 2011

When did the nickel come out of the Canadian nickel?
1922, 1942, 1951, 1981. "The nickel's composition has changed several times, most notably during World War II and the Korean War when nickel was redirected to the war effort. In 1942 and 1943, the coins were minted in tombac, a copper-zinc alloy; in 1944 and 1945, and again from 1951 to 1954, coins were made of steel which was plated twice, first with nickel and then chromium. The plating was applied before the blanks were struck, so the edges of these coins are dull or even rusted. The composition was returned to pure nickel after both wars. More recently, in 1981, the same copper-nickel alloy used in the American coin was adopted in the Canadian coin, with the ironic result that the nickel then contained less nickel than any other circulating Canadian coin except the cent. In 2000, along with all other circulating Canadian coins, the composition was further debased to nickel-plated steel; this plating does cover the coin's edge." Ref Wikipedia
