Is a nickel considered to be a coin?

In popular usage, a nickel IS a coin even though its name is technically "5 cent piece". The name dates back to the mid-1800s when nickel was first used in making US coins. At that time the Mint issued 3-cent and 5-cent coins made of silver. When it became practical to use nickel metal in coins, the Mint also struck the same denominations in an alloy of copper and nickel. The two different compositions circulated together for a number of years; to distinguish them from their silver counterparts people called both nickel-based coins "nickels", adding the denomination: 3-cent nickels and 5-cent nickels. Eventually the Mint discontinued production of both three-cent coins and silver five-cent coins, leaving only so-called "5-cent nickels" in circulation. Because there was no longer any need to distinguish denominations, people dropped the "5-cent" modifier in ordinary conversation and the coins simply became "nickels".

Which coins are referred to as nickels?

"Nickel" is the slang term for five-cent coins in the US and among English-speaking Canadians. Interestingly, only 25% of the metal in US nickels is actually nickel metal; the rest is copper. Only Canadian nickels were ever made of nearly-pure nickel. The name's origin dates back to the mid-19th century when the US introduced 3¢ and 5¢ coins made of cupronickel. The same denominations were already being minted in silver, and both compositions were used simultaneously for a number of years. People began to distinguish the coins with phrases like "three cents, silver," "five cents, nickel," and so on. The name "nickel" caught on for both of the new coins and people began to call them "three-cent nickels" and "five-cent nickels." By the late 19th century both types of 3¢ coins and silver 5¢ coins had been discontinued, leaving only cupronickel five-cent pieces. Because there was no longer a need to distinguish among them, the "five-cent" modifier gradually disappeared, leaving the name we know today.


You have two US coins that have a total value of 55 cents and one of them is not a nickel What are the two coins?

The answer is a nickel and a 50 cent piece (half dollar). The question states that *one* of them is not a nickel, but the other coin may be a nickel. In fact, this is the only answer. One is a half dollar and the other is the nickel. This way, one is not the nickel, the other is the nickel.
