Yes Duane........CANADA issued a Nickel (5 Cents) during the 2nd World
War years (1943-45 I believe...Maybe longer), known as the V Nickel or
Victory Nickel. This Nickel had a Large V on the Back and was issued in
2 different Metals one of which was called TOMBAC which was a Brass
Alloy, and the other was a Chrome type metal  used to save NICKEL for
War use.

Without looking it up somewhere I believe the message that was written
around the Back edge of the coin in MORSE CODE was.....

"We win when we fight willingly"....or something similar to that.

Hope this answers your question Duane...

73..ROB.
