Answer 2

Alas, there are several different kinds of "ounce", making this question difficult to answer.

James B. Longacre designed the U.S. 5 cent coin (commonly called "the nickel") to weigh precisely 5 grams. At the time (1866), he and many other people expected that people in the U.S. would soon convert to the international metric system.

The "fluid ounce" is a measure of volume. While it various from one country to another, a U.S. fluid ounce measuring spoon (also called a 2 tablespoon measuring spoon) holds an amount of water that weighs the same as 6 nickels.

The avoirdupois ounce (common ounce) is 28.35 gm so it's slightly less than 6 US nickels.

The troy ounce (used for precious metals) is 31.1 gm and weighs slightly more than 6 US nickels.

Canadian nickels have had many different weights over the years. Since 2000, the most common weight has been 3.95 gm so 7 Canadian nickels (28.35 / 3.95) would approximate that amount. If you're referring to troy ounces, the nearest amount would be 8 Canadian nickels.

Answer 3

1 US pounds is 453.6 grams. US nickels weigh 5.00 gm each, while modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm. That means:

1 lb of US nickels contains 453.6/5.00 = 90.7, or 91 coins rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 91*5 = 455 cents, or $4.55

1 lb of Canadian nickels contains 453.6/3.95 = 115 coins, rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 115*5 = 575 cents, or $5.75

Answer 4

A US pound is 453.6 grams. US nickels weigh 5.00 gm while modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm. So:

For US Coins there are 453.6/5.00 = 91 nickels in a pound, rounded to the nearest whole number. The value would be 91*5 = 455 cents, or $4.55

For Canadian Coins there are 453.6/3.95 = 115 coins, again rounded. Their value is $5.75
