Of particular interest for the Jefferson nickel series, this bag was used to hold the newly redesigned 5c coin in 1938, with this being the first year the Jefferson nickel was produced. The words "Jefferson Nickel" are printed on the bag, presumably so that Mint and bank employees would know these are the "new nickels" and not the old "buffalo nickel" design.

This bag was for holding $50 in Jefferson nickels in 1938 at the Philadelphia Mint. It is a WWII era bag, and historically interesting. This cloth bag was holding $50 in nickels the year before the events of Pearl Harbor!
