A nickel is a five-cent coin struck by the United States Mint.Composed of cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel), the piece has been issued since 1866.Its diameter is 0.835 inches (21.21 mm) and its thickness is 0.077 inches (1.95 mm).
Jefferson nickels have been minted since 1938 at the Philadelphia and Denver mints and from the San Francisco mint until 1970. Key dates for the series include the 1939-D, and 1950-D nickels. The 1939-D nickel with a mintage of 3,514,000 coins is the second lowest behind the 1950-D nickel.
The mint also loses money on the nickel, with each of the $0.05 coins costing nearly $0.14 to make. It is unclear whether Trump has the power to unilaterally eliminate the lowly one-cent coin. Currency specifications -- including the size and metal content of coins -- are dictated by Congress.
