To begin the nickel spiral, simply gather a bunch of nickels, and we'll get started.
Starting off, you grab three nickels and arrange them as shown.

Next, you place three more nickels, like in the first step, but off-set them a bit, touching the one counter-clockwise away from it, as shown in the photo below

Repeat the previous steps numerous times until you get the height that you desire, off-setting each one slightly.

Here is a finished Nickel Spiral. You can do it higher, but it will take up a lot more nickels. What was made here took up about 50-70 nickels.
