The composition of the 5 cent nickel depends on the country, and the time it was manufactured. Generally, the nickel coins have less elemental nickel in them than other elements combined, due to health and economic reasons.

Currently in the United States:

* 75% Copper * 25% Nickel

Currently in Canada:

* 94.5% Steel * 3.5% Copper * 2% Nickel plating
