Yes, nickel can float on liquid mercury because the density of nickel is lower than that of mercury. This means that nickel will not sink when placed on liquid mercury, and instead will float on its surface.
It is made of copper and nickel. A 1949 NICKEL is made from copper & nickel.
Yes, all mercury dimes were minted before the mint started making copper/nickel dimes.
American nickels are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel Canadian nickels used to be pure nickel but are now made out of steel.
If it is a US nickel, it is 25% nickel, 75% copper. If it is a Canadian nickel I believe it is 100% nickel.
Iron and nickel

== == Mercury has an iron-nickel core.
There is no such thing as a Mercury nickel. See the related question below.
Mercury's internal composition is made up of 70 percent metals and 30 percent silicate. The core is a hot, liquid iron-nickel mixture.
Mercury is the name of a dime only.
Mercury's mantle is mostly made up of silicate minerals, similar to Earth's mantle. This layer is believed to be composed of magnesium silicates like olivine and pyroxene.
Back in 1903, the nickel was called, the "Liberty" nickel. The name "Mercury" only refers to the dime and came into circulation in 1916. The "Mercury" dime was produced until 1945. In 1946 to present, it is called the "Roosevelt" dime.
Mercury's internal composition is made up of 70 percent metals and 30 percent silicate. The core is a hot, liquid iron-nickel mixture.
Every inner planet has a core. The cores of Mercury, Venus, and Earth are composed of iron-nickel. Mars's core is made of liquid iron sulfide mixed with some nickel.
It is made of copper and nickel. A 1949 NICKEL is made from copper & nickel.
The planet with a core of nickel and iron and a crust 600 km thick is Mercury. Mercury's core makes up about 85% of its radius and is composed mainly of iron with some nickel. Its crust is thin compared to its core and mantle.
