Thanks to all of you who wrote to tell me about the special war issue of the
Canadian nickel from 1943-1945 with Morse Code on it. The famous "V" nickel.
I greatly appreciate your assistance.
For what it is worth: The USA also had a "V" nickel, AKA the Liberty Nickel.
It was replaced by the Buffalo Nickel Type #1 and Type #2 in 1913. Although
the letter "V" meant "five", as in Roman numerals, on our Liberty nickel, it
meant "Victory" on the Canadian war issue.
Again, TNX!
