No, because a plated metal is not a mixture of elements.

Copper-nickel is an alloy of copper and nickel which have different densities. You need to know the proportions of each metal in the alloy to determine its density.
German nickel or nickel silver is an alloy that contains nickel, zinc and copper. That makes it a type of brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Pure nickel is an element, not an alloy.
In the United States, 5 cent pieces (or "nickels") are composed of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. In Canada, depending on their dates the coins can be made of 99.9% nickel, the same alloy as US nickels, or nickel-plated steel. The euro 5-cent piece is made of copper-plated steel. The Australian 5-cent coin is made of the same alloy as US nickels.
