Best Answer

The weight of one US nickel is 5.0 grams so a kilo (1000 gm) contains 1000/5 = 200 coins (exactly).

The weight of one Canadian nickel is 3.95 gm so a kilo contains 1000/3.95 = 235 coins, rounded to the nearest whole number.

US nickels weigh 5.00 gm each so you'd need 1000/5 = 200 coins

Most Canadian nickels made since 2000 weigh 3.95 gm each so you'd need 1000/3.95 = 254 coins, rounded up to the next full nickel. A more precise figure is 253.16 so if you only needed to approximate a mass of 1 kg, 253 coins would be closer.

All US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so you need 1000/5 = 200 coins to have a mass of 1 kg.

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so you need 1000/3.95 = 254 coins, rounded to the next whole number.
