The 2005 Victory Anniversary Nickel honours the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII. This special circulation coin is a representation of the 5-cent coin created in 1943 to promote the Canadian war effort. The original design incorporated Winston Churchill’s V for Victory, and a Morse code message circling the rim: “We Win When We Work Willingly.”

I think that resurrecting the old designs is a great idea. Canada has been doing it successfully for quite a while now. I wish the US Mint would catch on to the idea. Gosh, it could even make them some money.
