To "nickel and dime yourself" basically means to be obsessed over the small details that would not matter in the overall scheme of things. A good example would be when someone will drive an extra 25 miles to get cheaper gasoline when the price is only 4 cents higher where they are now. If you get 25 miles to the gallon (approximately) it will cost you an extra gallon of gas to get the cheaper price. If gas is $2.50 per gallon, then you spent an extra 2.50 to get to the cheaper pump, when 4 cents extra a gallon is only a difference of 40 cents per ten gallons. This is not very efficient, and hardly worth someone's time. This is known as "nickel and diming yourself."
A dime is smaller than a nickel. A nickel is worth less than a dime. A dime has a ridged side, while a nickel is smooth and thicker.
Yes, a nickel is half a dime!
A nickel equals 5 cents; the dime 10 cents. Two nickels equals one dime in value. So the nickel is 50% of the dime.
A nickel has a diameter of 21.21 millimeters, while a dime has a smaller diameter of 17.91 millimeters. This means the nickel is wider than the dime. Both coins are made of a combination of metals, with the nickel primarily composed of nickel and copper and the dime mainly made of copper and nickel.

You fail to understand the value of a nickel or a dime. A nickel is 5 cents. A dime is 10 cents. There are 2 nickels to make 1 dime.
Both nickels and dimes are composed of Copper and Nickel. A dime, however, is 91.67% Copper and 8.33% Nickel, while a nickel is 75% Copper and 25% Nickel. Since Copper is a bit denser than Nickel, and a dime contains relatively more Copper, than a dime would be denser than a nickel.
One is a nickel and one is a dime. The one that is NOT A NICKEL is the dime!
There are eight possible results when flipping three coins (eliminating the highly unlikely scenario of one or more coins landing on their edge): Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails
The total value would be 15 cents. A nickel is 5¢ while the dime is 10¢.
