It actually depends on where you live. Here in the glorious Dominion of Canada (known to you Ahmurikans as "The Great White North"), nickels are made of 100% pure Canadian-mined nickel, mostly mined in Sudbury (you know the one: the acid fumes from the smelters have devistated the land around the town so badly that Apollo astronauts came here to test the lunar rover, because the area so resembled the dead surface of the moon). Of course, our silver dollars are nickel, too.... -- The Phoenix (Neither Bright, Dark, nor Young) ---"A man should live forever...or die trying." ---"There is no substitute for good manners...except fast reflexes." ---"Never appeal to a man's "better nature".
