A standard roll of nickels contains 40 coins. This means that if you have a roll of nickels, you have 40 individual nickels. Each nickel is worth 5 cents, so a full roll of nickels is worth $2.00.
Nickels are often rolled by banks or individuals for easier storage and handling. The standard number of coins in a roll is consistent across the United States, making it easy to count and manage large quantities of coins.
