Is nickel from earth the same as the 5 cent nickel?

US "nickels" (5-cent coins) contain nickel metal - except during WWII, they've always been struck in an alloy of 25% nickel metal and 75% copper. The coin's name comes from the fact that it was one of the first US coins to contain nickel metal. When nickel coins were introduced in the mid-19th century people referred to them as "nickels" to distinguish them from their older silver counterparts. The denomination was also part of the nickname, e.g. "three-cent nickel", "five-cent nickel". By the late 19th century the five-cent nickel was the only coin of that composition still being made, so the people gradually shortened the nickname in common slang. When Canada replaced its silver 5-cent coins with nickel coins in 1922 the US slang name was already well-established, so Anglophone Canadians adopted it as well. Unlike their American counterparts, Canadian nickels actually were pure nickel from 1922 to 1981, except during war years when various substitute metals were used.
