New Nickel

Okay, how did I miss this?
Am I the only one who didn't know there was a new back on the nickel? I was making an illustration to my students today using the change in my pocket, and I said, "Look at that--I have a foreign coin in my pocket." Then I realized that it was actually a new design on the back of the nickel.
I read and watch the news just about everyday. How did I miss this? Half of my sophomores didn't know anything about it either, but that really doesn't comfort me that much.
Evidently, there are new designs for the front and the back for next year according to the US Mint website . Isn't this a big deal? I think this is the first time the nickel has been changed in my entire life.
