    temporary name

    In the USA, a modern nickel is valued at five cents, but this wasn't always true. The word nickel refers to the metal nickel, and the first nickel coin was actually a penny, a copper-nickel Indian cent coin introduced in 1859. Later, the name designated the three-cent coin introduced in 1865, and the following year the five-cent shield nickel appropriated the designation, which has remained ever since. The first five cent piece, in contrast was not a nickel, but instead was called a half dime and was made of silver.

    5 cents. But a whole lot more sense than the penny, which costs more to produce than it is worth. <scratches head>
