Knowing the basics of collecting wooden nickels can help jump-start your first collection. You can find a wide assortment of tuit nickels, promotional nickels, and mint-condition wooden nickels on eBay.

- Round nickel tuit: This is a common wooden-nickel type that has been around for a long time. Tuits are often embossed with a witty statement or proverb.
- Promotional nickel: Some of the wooden nickel custom pieces feature the logo of a specific company and are used as an alternative business card. These coin pieces are also used to promote events.
