A nickel weighs 5 grams, so 21 pounds contains approximately 1,905 nickels (21 pounds × 453.6 grams/pound ÷ 5 grams/nickel). Since each nickel is worth $0.05, the total value is about $95.25 (1,905 nickels × $0.05/nickel).
To find out how many dollars 5 pounds of nickels equals, first note that a nickel weighs 5 grams. There are 453.592 grams in a pound, so 5 pounds is approximately 2,267.96 grams.

It's impossible to get any silver from buffalo nickels. They were all minted from the same metal, an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.The ONLY US nickels that ever contained silver were special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945. They were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. These coins are distinguished by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.
There are approximately 90 silver dimes in a pound.
