Buffalo Nickel
In change wherever you go,
on a nickel, you will find Monticello.
It was not that way years ago.
The reverse depicted a buffalo.
Thomas Jefferson also is shown to date.
He has been there since 1938.
A Native American chief was once there.
He could be found on nickels everywhere.
He made his debut in 1913.
Today, these coins are hardly ever seen.
A woman once said something to me that was funny.
“Don’t give it to me. I only want American money.”
