What is a Nickel Coin Made of?

By GovMint :

In the United States, nickels are predominantly made of a combination of metals. Despite their name, which may suggest they are composed entirely of nickel, these coins actually consist of a blend of copper and nickel. The standard composition for a nickel coin typically includes 75% copper and 25% nickel, giving them their distinctive appearance and durability. This alloy not only provides the coins with their characteristic silvery color but also ensures their resilience to wear and tear in circulation.
