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

All US nickels except the 1942-45 "war nickels" are struck in an alloy composed of 25% nickel and 75% copper. During WWII nickel was needed for the war effort, so from mid-1942 to the end of 1945 "nickels" didn't contain any nickel. They were made of an alloy of 35% silver, 9% manganese and 56% copper. Canadian nickels are currently made of nickel-plated steel, but were previously struck from pure nickel. During WWII and for short periods thereafter they were made of various metals including stainless steel and a copper alloy called tombac.
