A nickel cigar, a ticket to the theater (Nickelodeon), a ride on the trolley, a nickel Coke, a glass of beer, a piece of pie, a magazine, coin operated pianos, and many other coin-operated machines of which the nickel was king, followed a close second by the penny.

In 1930, you could buy a pound of apples for eleven cents. If you wanted to buy a single apple from a street vendor, it would cost you a nickel.
In 1922, a dollar had significantly greater purchasing power than it does today. You could buy a loaf of bread for about 10 cents, a gallon of milk for around 50 cents, or a movie ticket for about 15 to 25 cents. Additionally, a dollar could cover a meal at a diner or even a few items at a local store, making it a substantial amount for everyday expenses at the time.
According to the Consumer Price Index Inflation Calculator, one dollar in 1930 had the same buying power that $13.50 has in 2011. So whatever you can get for thirteen and a half bucks today, was about a dollar in 1930.
Well, inflation has changed the value of a nickel. In 1935 you could get a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk or gas for five or ten cents, I think.
To determine the value of a dollar from 1922 in today's terms, we can use historical inflation data. On average, the value of money decreases over time due to inflation. A dollar in 1922 is roughly equivalent to about $15-20 today, depending on the specific inflation calculations used. This means that what could be purchased for a dollar in 1922 would require significantly more money today.
