Because so many were made that they can still be found today. In about 30-40 years they will be worth more because they will be harder to find.

What is the value of a 1941 silver US nickel?

Minting errors are considered collectable and some, such as the 1943 over 1942 and the 1954 S over D sell for substantial amounts.
