Patron the switch from silver to nickel happened in 1967 in Canada but silver coins remained in circulation for a good 2 to 4 years after.
I remember working in a hardware store as a cashier in 1970 and swapping out silver coins from the cash for nickel coins from my pocket. The owner knew and didn`t mind since at the end of the day, it all went to the bank at face value.
BTW I also remember when Mitsubishi tried to corner the copper market. The junk and scrap metal dealers made millions.
