yes Well, you could, but you could also weigh (note - not "weight") yourself in ounces, too, but it would be a bit impractical from an arithmetic standpoint.

U.S. nickels weigh 5.00 grams so that would be a better unit than a kilogram - the same mass in kg would be 0.005 kilos.

Any unit of weight can be used, but measuring a nickel in kilograms would result an inconveniently small number. A kilogram is the mass of a liter of water, a quantity that's much larger than a nickel.

The next-smallest commonly used unit is the gram, and that produces a much simpler value. In fact, US nickels are specified to weigh exactly 5.0 grams which is far easier to work with than 0.005 kilos.

The weight of a nickel is approximately 5 grams. To convert this to kilograms, you would divide 5 grams by 1000, which equals 0.005 kilograms.
