US Coins are measured using metric units so you have to convert.

Nickels are 1.95 mm thick and a mile is equivalent to 1.60934 km. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer and 1000 millimeters in a meter, so

> First multiply 1.60934 km by a million (1000 x 1000) to express a mile in mm.

> Then divide by the thickness of a nickel:

1.60934 * 1000000 / 1.95 = 825302.564

Rounding to the closest number of nickels, you need 825303 to make a stack at least 1 mile high.
