Nickel

There are two types of money, coins and bills. Coins include quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. 

This is both sides of a nickel: 

Here are some facts about the nickel.

  • It is made of copper and nickel. 
  • The nickel is worth five cent (5¢).
  • Thomas Jefferson is on the HEADS of the coin (front side).
