When did they stop making the Buffalo Nickels?

Question

I know it is a oxen on the nickel. The lady in the cafeteria gave me one today not knowing what it was. The date is un-readable from age. I need to know when they stoped making it so i can assume it was the latest date. I would like you to include a link. Also one to a good coin site.

Answer 2

Buffalo nickels were minted for circulation between 1913-1938.

By the way, it may be a bison on the coin's reverse side but it's definitley not an oxen.
