In the United States, 5 cent pieces (or "nickels") are composed of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

In Canada, depending on their dates the coins can be made of 99.9% nickel, the same alloy as US nickels, or nickel-plated steel.

The euro 5-cent piece is made of copper-plated steel.

The Australian 5-cent coin is made of the same alloy as US nickels.
