    Use a new nickel, if you're in the US that is. They have a mass of exactly 5 grams. (dunno what the mass tolerance is though)

    With bud you are only really going to need to be accurate to 2 figures anyways.

    Yeah, that's just fine. Also, it might weigh less if it's slightly worn. And again, since the coins are a mass produced product, they all have some tolerance on mass, but I don't know what it is.
