Neat. I got one of the new WWII commemorative nickels in my change today. The nickel on the left is the new one. It is patterned after the 1945 "nickel" (in quotes because the 1945 coin is not made of nickel due to war time shortages, it actually made of a cheap steel alloy - note the rust). The 1945 coin shown here is from my Gypsy chest

I've got one of the US 3 cents coins from the 1880s. Sounds like a bizarre denomination but made sense back then because it matched one of the lettermail rates.
