The number of coins made each year varies widely depending on demand as driven by the economy.
Figures for the most recent decade (as of this writing in 2015) are as follows. P = Philadelphia, D = Denver

There is no predetermined limit for coins minted for general circulation. The number of coins made for the year depends on the economy.
As of recent estimates, there are approximately 1.1 billion nickels in circulation in the United States. The U.S. Mint produces billions of coins each year, but the exact number of nickels can fluctuate due to factors like demand and coin recycling. The total can vary over time as new coins are minted and older ones are taken out of circulation.
In 2003, approximately 1.1 billion nickels were minted by the U.S. Mint. This production included both the Philadelphia and Denver mint facilities, which typically produce coins to meet public demand and replace worn-out currency. The specific numbers can vary slightly depending on the source, but the total production for that year was around that figure.

Nickels are made every year. Millions or billions are produced.
No no no. The last year for buffalo nickels was 1938, and nickels have NEVER been made of gold.
1964
The US has never made coins from pure nickel. Canadian nickels were made of 99.9% pure nickel from 1922 to 1999, except during wartime due to metal shortages.
1913 was the first year of issue for Buffalo nickels. They were made every year until 1938 except for 1922-1932-1933.
It is estimated that approximately 275,000,000 Cookies are made each year
Nickels minted between about 1942 and 1945 were made with silver due to steel being used in the war effort. A little over half an ounce of silver was used in each one, making them worth about $1.60 each as of early this year.
there are probably millions of sandwiches made a year
The first Jefferson nickels were made in 1938.
about ten billion kisses are made each year
approximately 5.3 billion twinkles are made each year.
