Since 3 cent silvers are Trimes, should 3 cent nickels be Trickels?
Here's a beautifully toned Centennial Trickel from CoinFacts.

Nice coin ... but the name just don't fit.
Why not?
I think the name is good... better than 'TICKLE'....
Cheers, RickO
So you had an epiphany at 5:13 am ?
Only if she’s racing NASCAR.

If three cent silvers were trilvers then yours could be a trickel.
But they aren't...
Nickel is dual purpose: nickel nickel vs. silver dime
Apparently not many NASCAR fans, but I though of the same thing when I saw the subject.
I like the cars but don't follow very closely.
Here's a '68 Ford Torino Trickle. Is this car still around?

I love that toned 3 cent, never seen one like that. Here is my trickel!
He didn’t have much success in NASCAR but his name sure got him a lot of attention.
IMO...As a trime is Latin for 3-pence, it would seem more logical to call a 3-cent nickel a trimeckel.
In a hobby where terms are often illogical, why do we need to so constrain ourselves in naming this coin? Unleash your inner Seuss and come up with a name like "tri-tinkle." And, yes, I'll show you mine.

I have been using that term for decades.
Yes, trickels. Here's mine:

And not to change the subject or anything, but to be consistent $3 should be trollars.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.
I'll call it a pickle.
Agree! It's quite rare and a beauty!
Your trickel is quite nice too!
I think the above coins are all awesome examples.
I like 3cn coins.
The design is simple yet pleasing and they look decent circulated if they're not corroded.
The 1876 shown above made me laugh because (and I know have stated this before) there was a time when for some bizarre reason, I became fascinated with the date and would buy nearly every one I came across.
Finally getting rid of that small-ish (as hoards go) stash of 1876 3cn coins was challenging, to say the least, in the pre-internet days.
Ok, I still may have a couple.....
with all the tri's in this thread, i am compelled to say triglyph.
Nice trickel!
Does anyone call it that?
Calling @CaptHenway
Wow.
That is a beautiful coin.
I am attempting to build an 1883 proof set within my type set. I picked up this one out of a Legend auction a couple of years ago, but since then my pace of finding high grade, eye appealing 1883 proofs has slowed to a... trickel.
I have heard the term 'Trickel' before, so I believe it has already been thought of and put to use.
I have neither Trimes nor Trickels, though I DO prefer Trimes.

Doesn't do anything for me. If I had to use anything it would be "Treys."

Here's another great looking Trickle.
Of note, this is a POP 1/0 with no provenance.

The name fits PERFECTLY!

3CN is easier to type.
When I hear/read "trickle" I think of triple nickel, one of my past flying squadrons, in Italy.

I love my 5CNs
Trickels, i like it. Henceforth the nickel 3 cent piece shall be known as the Trickel. So let it be written, so let it be done.
And I my 5CSs.
Trickel a little too close to:
Since this thread was brought back out…what if the $3 coins were worth a triplet of bucks, and this called trucks? Maybe that’ll be my next pick up
