Coins are weighed in grams so it's necessary to convert US pounds to grams. Each pound is 453.592 gm so 35 pounds is 15875.72 gm.
A US nickel weighs 5.00 gm so 3 pounds would be 15875.72 / 5.00 = 3175 nickels, rounded to the nearest whole number. Each coin is worth 5 cents so the total value would be 3175*5 = 15875 cents, or $158.75
Modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so the calculations are 15875.72 / 3.95 = 4019 coins worth $200.95
Coins are measured in metric units so pounds, a US measure, have to be converted to grams: One pound is 453.6 gm so 5 lbs = 2268 gm.

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so the calculations are 2268 / 3.95 = 574 coins (rounded), or $28.70.
