A Canadian nickel weighs 4.3 grams, so one Canadian dollar in nickels weighs 86 grams (20 x 4.3 grams).

A US nickel weighs 5.0 grams so one US dollar in nickels weighs 100 grams (20 x 5)

US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so 2000 would weigh 5 * 2000 = 10000 gm, or 10 kg.

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm; 2000*3.95 = 7900 gm, or 7.9 kg.
