Question
It seems nickels are a pretty popular question for you.
I've come across a 2006 nickel that has a full face view instead of a profile. Is it a new version or a mistake?
Lana, it was an intentional design change by the U.S. Mint. Go to

to see what the U.S. Mint has to say about the 2006 nickel. I'm sure their site has more information if you go through it, Jim Lawniczak
