100 pieces of five cents is only $ 5 at the bus stop to your local bank and exchange $ 5 bill for that.

Another option: water has a density very close to an 1 ml room temperature. Therefore, you can move through the measurement of 500 g to 500 ml of water. If no equipment for good measure, and if you are a kind of "zero" or "burden" of the scale have many bottles of 500 ml of water. Buy two and drink it. Dry completely (you must leave the rest to evaporate water), rather than on the head with the lid, the net mass of the scale, and place the bottle of water. Not sure of the correctness of these bottles filled, so that they may be inaccurate.

The choice of nickel is probably the best choice.

Most digital scales are more accurate without calibration of 100 cents or 500 ml of water would be. If there is a method of measuring exactly 500 ml of pure water is exactly the right temperature would be fine. But it costs more and more work for calibration.
