Assume that nickels are measured in diameter, and we want to form the certain number of nickels to form an inch. Let the diameter of the nickel be 22 millimeters, which is 2.2 centimeters. Note that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. Then, there is no definite number of nickels that exactly form an inch since: 2.54 centimeters * 1 nickel / 2.2 centimeters = 1.15... nickels [and we obtain the "incomplete" nickel to form an inch]!
US nickels are 1.95 mm thick. A US inch is 25.4 mm so you would need 25.4 / 1.95 = 13 coins.
1303 Nickels stacked up would be roughly 100 inches. A nickel is 1.95mm thick which is 0.07677165 inches thick.

Each nickel is approximatley .076 inches tall. Stacking them, it would take at least 711 nickels to reach 54 inches.
