Hobo nickels were originally nickels (US 5 cent pieces) that were modified and carved. Today the term refers to a great many denominations from different countries, but they all follow the same format of being carved and engraved for a pastime. Today there are many talented coin carvers all over the world that engrave and carve coins from simple, low value coins through to very large silver coins.
