The 2006 Jefferson Nickel, part of the United States Mint's series, features the famous portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and a depiction of Monticello on the reverse. The nickel, designated with a denomination of 5 cents, is composed primarily of a copper-nickel alloy. Collectors often seek out coins from specific mint years, like 2006, due to variations, mint marks, and condition. The Jefferson Nickel series, first issued in 1938, holds significance in American numismatics, with particular attention given to key dates and rarity within the series.
