Coins are normally measured by count or by weight, so it's a bit difficult to measure them by length.

First, coins dimensions are given in millimeters so a US yard has to be converted: 36 inches = 914.4 mm. Then:

If you mean a yard of coins side by side, a US nickel is 21.21 mm in diameter so it would take 914.4 / 21.21 = approximately 43 nickels to be 1 yard long. A nickel is $0.05 so their value is 43 * 0.05 = $2.15

If you mean a yard of coins in a stack, nickels are 1.95 mm thick so a yard-high stack would contain 914.4 / 1.95 = 469 coins, or $23.45
