It looks like a penny ( the back does, the maple leafs and says 1938 and 1cent) the head is a picture of georgivs VI and says D:G REX ET IND: IMP:
Canada didn't issue "nickels" (note the spelling) in 1903. The coins were small silver pieces, roughly like old-fashioned US half dimes.
Please see the Related Link for an image.
No, the leaf is a maple leaf.
The Canadian flag has a red maple leaf on a white background, with 2 red bars on each side.
We do not have garbage barges in Canada, as were used shamelessly by New York City to dump wastes into the Atlantic Ocean. In Canada we use landfills shamelessly.
You have to be a Canadian to audition for Degrassi because they do all their filming there it says it on the website www.degrassi.com or go to Google and look up "Degrassi auditions" They also get funds from their government, which they wouldn't qualify for unless the actors were all Canadian.

what does a 1857 nickel look like
By convention, the front (known as the obverse) of all Canadian coins have an image of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. The current 5c coin has an image of a beaver on the reverse. This could (mistakenly) be thought of as the 'front' - it's not.
The first nickels were minted in 1866.
The coins themselves aren't magnetic, but Canadian dimes made since mid-1968 are attracted to a magnet.Up till that year the coins were made of an alloy of copper and silver, neither of which is attracted to a magnet. The rising price of silver forced the Royal Canadian Mint to reduce the amount of silver from 80% to 50%, then eliminate it completely in favour of pure nickel. By the turn of the century the price of nickel had also increased to the point where the RCM switched to plated steel. Both of those metals are strongly attracted to magnets.
Yes, many thousands. Unfortunately this site doesn't allow embedded pictures but you can use the image-search feature of any major search engine to look for "1903 US nickel", with the quotes.To explain, the "lady" is Miss Liberty, and the "V" is the Roman numeral for 5, the coin's denomination.
Look on the other side of your coin. I do believe you are looking at an '02 nickel. The date was struck on the obverse of the coin, instead of the reverse like all other years.
It look like 2 maple making a leaf tilted right and I tilted left.
Please take another look and post a new question. Indian Head nickels were made by the US from 1913 to 1938.
nickel
It was known as the "V" Nickel (or Liberty Head Nickel) the obverse featured a personification of Liberty, the reverse had a wreath with a large "V" in it (the Roman numeral for 5)
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
It depends on what color the beads are. Many shiny beads are nickel, because nickel gives a silver-like look but is much cheaper.
