Etymology
Nickel A helpful way to remember the slang nickel for a small bag of drugs is to think of 'five' — the name nickel is linked to the number 'five' because of the five-cent coin, and in street talk it came to mean about 'five' dollars. So a nickel in this sense is a small amount sold for roughly 'five' dollars.
