I noted that Canadian Nickels were magnetic up to 1958, after which they are not.

Canadian Nickels that are not magnetic are 1942 Tombac, 1943 (these were a brass alloy) and 1982-2000 (note that 2000P is magnetic and is worth over $4 if you find one in your change). Blacknail 20:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I say find one, and test it with a magnet. Soemthing happened in 1958 to remove the magnetism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.41.204.3 (talk) 14:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] 2000 Change

Did the 2000 change in composition also reflect a change in the US nickel composition, or was it independent of that? --RealGrouchy 17:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Independent. The US nickel is still made from cupro-nickel. --93JC 00:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
