Best Answer

US nickels are 1.95 mm thick.

Other dimensions:

> Diameter: 21.2 mm

> Weight: 5.00 gm

> Composition: A solid alloy composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. The nickel is now the only circulating US coin to be made of a solid alloy. Cents are zinc plated with copper, and other denominations are clad "sandwich" coins.
