How much would 10 pounds of nickels be?

Answer 1

All US nickels, regardless of minting date, weigh 5.0 gm.

Canadian nickels up to about 1999 weighed 4.54 or 4.6 gm; those minted after that date weigh 3.95 gm but there are exceptions due to mid-year composition changes.

Answer 2

There are 20 nickels in $1 so $100 is 20 * 100 = 2000 nickels.

US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so 2000 would weigh 5 * 2000 = 10000 gm, or 10 kg.

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm; 2000*3.95 = 7900 gm, or 7.9 kg.

Answer 3

10 US pounds is 4536 grams. US nickels weigh 5.00 gm each, while modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm. Therefore:

10 lbs of US nickels contains 4536/5.00 = 907 coins, rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 907*5 = 4535 cents, or $45.35

10 lbs of Canadian nickels contains 4536/3.95 = 1148 coins, rounded to the nearest whole nickel. At 5 cents each the total is 1148*5 = 5725 cents, or $57.25

Answer 4

A nickel is worth 5 cents so there are 20 nickels in 1 dollar which means $100 is 2000 coins (20*100).

Each US nickel weighs 5.00 gm so $100 weighs 2000 * 5.00 = 10000 gm, or 10 kg.

Modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so $100 weighs 2000 * 3.95 = 7900 gm, or 7.9 kg.
