Huh... I thought that only the penny cost more to make than the face value.

The materials for the penny cost more than a penny. The material for a nickel costs 4.8 cents. This article is referring to production costs which includes overhead and things.
Current Melt Value Of Coins - How Much Is Your Coin Worth? shows the metal cost of both coins I mentioned.
