Some coins have value to collectors, which can be tremendously more than the face value of the coin. Bear in mind that the condition of the coin is vitally important. Coins are not valuable merely for being old, although being old helps. If a coin is old, rare, and in good condition, then coin collectors will want it.

What is ratio to nickels to quarters in a dollar?
A dollar is 100 cents, a quarter is 25 cents, and a nickel is 5 cents. Thus a dollar is composed of 4 (100/25) quarters, or 20 (100/5) nickels. Therefore there are 5 times as many nickels in a dollar as there are quarters. Another way to look at it is to say that there are 5 nickels in a quarter, so there are 5 times as many nickels as quarters in any amount.
Are there any nickels that are worth more than face value?
Yes, "War Nickels" or nickels struck from 1942-1945 that have a large mintmark over the Monticello are 35% silver and are worth around $1.50 at the time of writing. Pre-Jefferson nickels are usually worth at least a bit more than face and proof or uncirculated nickels also give you a premium. ------ Many nickels are worth more than "face" value, For example - ALL of the Liberty Head nickels are worth more than face (they were minted from 1883 to 1912) Then came the buffalo nickels - Virtually all of those are worth more than face. After the buffs came the Jefferson nickel. In addition to the "war nickels" (as stated above) there are "key date" Jefferson nickels that are worth more than face. To list a few examples...the 1950D (Denver mint) is a rare (key) date and is worth around 10 to 20 dollars on eBay. Also the 1939D is a key - it sells for around 10 dollars on eBay...depending on condition. In mint state these coins can bring 100 dollars plus. To sum it up. as many Jefferson nickels are worth more than face, it would be difficult to list them all. The easiest way would be for you to ask us here about a specific date. Make certain to include the mint mark (if any) and a rough idea of condition. Or just get a coin value book at the library ( the Red Book) or look it up on eBay as to approximate the selling value.
How do I write the rule to find the number of quarters for any number of nickels?
There are five nickels (5¢) in a quarter (25¢) so the rule is: 1) Divide the number of nickels by 5 to get the number of quarters 2) The remainder, if any, is the number of nickels left over For example, if you have 17 nickels, 17/5 = 3 rem 2, so that means you have 3 quarters with 2 nickels remaining. To confirm, 17 nickels are worth a total of 85¢ (5 * 17); 3 quarters = 75¢ so 10 cents - i.e. 2 nickels - would be left over.
