I.E I'm looking for a foreign form of currency with the same value as 5 american cents

In Australia (before we changed to decimal currency) a coin of five cents value was called a Fivepence.
I think a shilling was actually 10 pence.

penny = 1 cent nickel = 5 cents dime = 10 cents quarter = 25 cents The lowest denomination of paper money is a 1 dollar bill, which is equal to 100 pennies, 20 nickels, 10 dimes, or 4 quarters.

This sounds like a riddle.
"You have two coins totalling 30 cents. One of them is not a nickel. What are the coins?"
The correct answer to this riddle is, "a quarter and a nickel" -- if you listen/look carefully, the questioner said "one of them is not a nickel" -- the other one is!

In Canada, they are five cent pieces. You can play spot the American when they call it a nickel!

There is a .05 Euro coin. However, it is worth more than a nickel.
