Answer:
Since nickel is such a sturdy and corrosion-resistant material, it is an excellent metal for coin-making. The first coin to include the metal nickel was the one-cent piece Flying Eagle, an American coin made of 12 percent nickel and 88 percent copper. This coin, which was also the first to go by the name "nickel," only circulated two years, between 1857-1858.
The lawmakers listened, and in 1866, the American government minted 15 million 5-cent coins made of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. Nickels flooded the economy and became the most prominent coin in the after-war years.
