Originally, a worn-out, coming-apart, or coverless baseball that was covered heavily with electrician's tape to extend its usefulness. (Early 20th century.)
We often played baseball all afternoon with nothing more than a nickel rocket if nobody could come up with an actual ball.

Get the nickel rocketmug. Don't let know one try to tell you, or get you to believe that it is..When really it never was and/or can never be.
Someone coming to you saying, I know where you can get this or that for a little of nothing..Just give me your name,address,money etc. And I'll see that you get it..When all alone they where just playing you..They knew that it wasn't or could never be. But you gave it to them trusting them. And you end up with nothing..
Be careful don't take no wooden nickels. Old saying originating from DETROIT.

Get the Nickel pussymug. A penis that has the circumference equal to that of a nickel, and is about 5 inches long. Therefore, a nickel pickle is essentially only worth about 5¢ due to its lack of girth and length.

Get the jeremy nickellmug. My orchestra teacher always said, "Don't be the bent nickel." I'm guessing he was talking about the violins.
