Aircraft
Upon landing with 3 green lights indicating landing gear down; the nose gear failed and collapsed; folding under the airplane and causing a prop-strike. No injuries. The aircraft came to a stop pretty quickly. The aircraft remained on the runway the entire time and the aircraft sustained no damage beyond the portion near the nose of the aircraft to include the nose-wheel; and prop sections.
A light airplane pilot reported the failure of the nose gear upon landing; resulting in the propeller making contact with the ground.
