The Jefferson Nickel, a United States coin featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, was first issued in 1938. The 5-cent coin is typically made of a blend of copper and nickel. The Philadelphia Mint produces coins without a mintmark, and in 2024, collectors may seek both circulation and special edition versions of the Jefferson Nickel. This coin is popular among numismatists for its historical significance and various design iterations, including the reverse featuring Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia home.
