At the turn of the 20th century, coins (penny aside) made for the Dominion of Canada were made of silver. The smallest of the lot and most inconvenient to manage was the 5-cent. A decision to make it larger meant changing its silver composition to nickel. And with this much welcomed change, Canada’s first true “Nickel” was coined in 1922.
