I was trying to figure out how to translate the "Teaching math in the 1950's" into Hindi or Chinese.

Whats a nickel

Ironically, it's mostly copper and a little zinc. No nickel.

Really? That's interesting. Cdn nickels were silver before the mis 1920's and then they changed to mostly silver... now they have a 1.5% nickel content... so do dimes and quarters. Before 1968 Cdn dimes and quarters were silver.

I need to look up US coins.
