The nickel, a five-cent coin composed of nickel and copper, was introduced in 1866 following a legislative act by the U.S. Congress. This marked a significant shift in American currency, providing a durable and practical alternative to the silver half-dime. The introduction of the nickel not only facilitated everyday transactions but also reflected the evolving economic landscape of post-Civil War America. Over time, the nickel became a staple of U.S. coinage, widely recognized and used across the nation.
