	Nickel (Canadian coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nickel was reinstated in 1946 (the 12-sided shape was retained until 1963, when the coins again became round).
		Unlike the U.S. coin of the same name, Canadian nickels were actually struck in 100% nickel originally (their American counterparts being 75% copper and only 25% nickel).
		In 1982 the composition was changed to the same as that of the American five-cent piece—cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel)—and in 2000 it was changed again, to nickel-plated steel.
