Some excerpts from a website depicting the history of the Buffalo Nickel:

The Buffalo Nickel is one of America's most distinctive coins ever minted. It is considered by many as a work of art with its dominating Great Plains images - the American Indian on its obverse and the Buffalo on the reverse. Because of its great beauty the Buffalo Nickel has become a particular favorite with coin collectors.

The Buffalo Nickel was minted just prior to World War I to just before World War II 1913-38. It traces its origins to an obscure law concerning when a coin design could be changed. Charles Barber's uninspired Liberty Head nickel had been in production since 1883. Under the Coinage Act of 1890, a change in the its design was permitted after 25 years.

James Earle Fraser, a former assistant to Saint-Gaudens and a prolific artist best known for his monumental "End of the Trail" Indian sculpture, created a truly unique design for the new coin. Up until that time, except for Bela Lyon Pratt's quarter and half eagle of 1908, the "Indians" portrayed on U.S. coins were primarily Caucasian with an Indian headdress. Fraser's design accurately portrays a male Native American, that is a composite of three chiefs who had posed for him years earlier.

No Buffalo nickels were made in 1922, 1932 and 1933.

By the end of 1937 planning for the Buffalo Nickel's successor was well under way, as the 25 year design would end the following year. It was to be replaced by the third coin to bear a likeness of one of our presidents, Thomas Jefferson. The Jefferson Nickel continues in production to this day.
