Now here's something I bet you didn't know ... did you know that an American Nickel isn't made only of nickel? It isn't even mostly nickel ... Yahoo! News - U.S. Mint Rolls Out New Nickels: "Vending machines will be able to accept the new nickels because their composition ? 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel ? and their size remains the same, Mint officials said"
