Coins are weighed in SI units so pounds have to be converted to grams. 1 US pound is 453.592 gm so 100 pounds is 45359.2 grams. US nickels weigh 5.00 gm each, while modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm. That means:

100 lbs of US nickels contains 45359.2/5.00 = 9072 coins, rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 9072*5 = 45360 cents, or $453.60

100 lbs of Canadian nickels contains 45359.2/3.95 = 11483 coins, rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 11483*5 = 57415 cents, or $574.15
