It is very expensive here in the US when purchased from a metals supplier.
Some get it in scrap form much more cheaply.  I have never found any
although I sure would like to.

Canadian quarters seem to be made from pure nickel. They only cost
C$0.25 each. ;-) That's about US$0.17. I've made test pieces with m/s
and Canadian quarters and dimes. Purty. But my metal supplier will
only supply 1/4" nickel sheet in 4'x8' pieces for roughly the value of
my car.

Dutch coins are made of nickel, if I remember correctly. Don't know
how pure, but they'd be easier to come by for someone in Germany.
