Because the nickel had more cents (sense)?
The size of coins is not directly related to their value. The penny and nickel are larger than the dime because they are made of different metals and were designed at different times with various considerations in mind, such as ease of use and production costs. The dime, despite being smaller, still holds a higher value than the penny and nickel.
According to the US Mint, the quarter is the heaviest at 5.67 gm. Nickels are next at 5.00 gm, and modern cents weigh 2.5 gm.
A nickel is exactly twice as heavy as a penny.
The US Mint lists the following weights: Cent - 2.5 gm Nickel - 5.0 gm Dime - 2.27 gm Quarter - 5.67 gm Half - 11.34 gm "Golden" dollar - 8.1 gm
The speed at which a penny or nickel moves when it is pushed along a surface will vary depending on the force applied and the friction between the coin and the board. In general, the speed will not be very high given the small size and weight of the coin.
The nickel 'nicked' the penny. At least that's wat i thought.
