<It is strange that with the canadian nickel ---> The Canadian 5 cent piece has been made of pure nickel since 1922, except for a the years from 1942 to 1954. All denominations for circulation, except the 1 cent, started being made of nickel in 1968. The nickel had its nickel content reduced to 255 in 1983 and now the coins only have a nickel plating. Although I have heard of nickel reactions by some people, it seems rather rare - 15% seems like a high number. With its germicidal qualities, I think we should go back to silver coins - they look so much better - even though they wear out more quickly than nickel. KS
