James B. Longacre designed the U.S. nickel coin to weigh exactly 5 grams.

Since one international pound is currently defined as exactly 453.59237 grams,

it should be easy to work out how many U.S. nickels to put in a bag to make the weigh one pound.

All version of the U.S. nickel weigh 5 grams.

U.S. nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper, 25% nickel,

except Wartime composition nickels minted during WWII that contain no nickel.
Approximately 91 nickels weigh one pound.

1 lb. = ~453.6 grams

1 nickel weighs ~5.0 grams

453.6g / 5g = 90.72 nickels, or about 91
