nickel
Jefferson's pocket change
Nickel is a hard, silvery-white metallic element used in alloys and plating.
In American currency, a nickel is a five-cent coin: Do you have a nickel for the meter?
To nickel-and-dime someone is to drain them through small charges or petty economies: They nickel-and-dimed us on every fee.
