Not sure if this is outdoors but my dad had a lot of them. Are they worth more than 5 cents?

weigh them up and look at spot price of silver

That would be kinda weird, as they do not contain silver.

If you find one with three legs you can probably retire.

People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Here is good site to see prices.

Melt value is 7 cents but they are worth more. Look at chart for years and graded price.

Jefferson War Nickels 1942-45 are the silver ones. They have a huge mintmark on reverse over the dome of Monticello.

Note, there's a few 1942 nickels that are not silver, they don't have the mint mark on the reverse.
