    Canadian nickels minted during World War II had a Morse code message inscribed around the perimeter. What was the message?

    		It was dubbed the "Victory Nickel".

    The Victory Nickel had a V indicating the denomination in Roman numerals. A Morse code pattern was also used instead of rim denticles spelling out "WE WIN WHEN WE WORK WILLINGLY".
