nickela

I want to make a box as a gift for a friend and put nickels on the top face of the box near the edge for decoration.  The box measures 8 inches by 10 inches.  If I place one nickel for every inch, how much will it cost me to decorate the box?









For 4th and 5th graders:  If I put a nickel, then a dime, then a quarter, and then a penny and use that pattern all the way around the box starting with a nickel in the upper left corner, how much will it cost to decorate the box?
