A US nickel weighs 5 gm, while a US pound is 453.6 gm. That means 453.6 / 5 = 90.7 nickels weigh 1 pound. Rounding to the nearest whole number of coins gives 91 nickels.
According to the US mint, about 1023.60 million nickels were made in 2012. This is just over 1 billion.
US nickels are 1.95 mm thick. A US inch is 25.4 mm so you would need 25.4 / 1.95 = 13 coins.
US nickels weigh 5 grams so you'd need 200 of them to weigh a kilo.

A US nickel weighs 5 gm, while a US pound is 453.6 gm. That means 453.6 / 5 = 90.7 nickels weigh 1 pound. Rounding to the nearest whole number of coins gives 91 nickels.
Assuming US coinage. Each nickel is 5 grams (according to the US Mint). 5 grams = 0.176 ounces. 16 ounces (1 pound) divided by 0.176 = 90.9. So, the short answer is about 91 nickels or $4.55
Coins are weighed in grams so to start, you need to know that a US pound is 453.6 grams. US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so a pound would be 453.6 / 5 = 90.7, or 91 coins rounded to the nearest whole number. Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm; 453.6 / 3.95 = 114.84, or 115 coins rounded to the nearest whole number.
All US nickels, regardless of design, weigh 5.00 gm. A US pound is 453.6 gm so dividing that amount by 5 gives the result 90.72 nickels.Because you can't have a fractional nickel (unless you get a pair of metal shears!), you would need 91 nickels to weigh at least 1 lb.
Stepwise calculations:> US nickels weigh 5 gm each.> An American pound is 453.6 gm so five pounds would be 5 * 453.6 = 2268 gm.> 2268 / 5, rounded to the nearest whole number, is 454> 454 nickels is worth 454 * $0.05 = $22.70More intuitively:Because a nickel weighs 5 gm there are as many nickels in 5 pounds as there are grams in 1 pound, or 454 (rounded). So like before, 454 * $0.05 = $22.70
No. US nickels weigh 5 gm each so 20 of them weigh 100 gm, or a bit more than 1/5 of a US pound (453.6 gm). You can easily determine this by comparing the weight of coins from your pocket change with a loaf of bread, soup can, hot dog package, or other item that weighs 1 pound.
