There's no such thing as a gold nickel. It's plated. In general, the plating would destroy any collectible value the coin had so it would only be worth 5 cents.
The major exception to that rule would be if the coin is an 1883 nickel with a large V on the back but without the words CENTS below the V. When these coins were first issued criminals took advantage of the missing wording by gold-plating them and passing them as a "new design" 5 dollar coin. They're known as "racketeer nickels" and can have considerable value to collectors. There's more information at the Related Question.
If you think about it for a couple of seconds, a real gold nickel would be totally impractical. Even back in the days when the price of gold was controlled, it was about 70¢ a gram. That means that a gold nickel would have been about the diameter of a pencil eraser. Today the price of gold is well above $1000 an ounce, so 5 cents' worth would be so tiny you'd need a microscope to find it!

Will magnet stick to 18kt gold?
Sometimes. It depends on what is in it. Unknown to many, the only real gold is the dull yellow soft stuff they keep at Fort Knox. All other forms of gold are alloys of gold silver coper and a few other metals. In the case of white gold, there are three metals used primarily in giving it the shinny white color; Nickel, Silver and a platinum group metal called "Palladium". Unless there is a Nickel content in the white gold in question, there will be no magnetic attraction, as the only four metals which are natural magnetic are Iron, Nickel, Cobalt and Gadolinium. One interesting characteristic of white gold with a Nickel content is that about 15% of people will have an allergic reaction to the Nickel when worn over an extended period. This makes Nickel the least likely of the three metals to be contained in white gold used for jewelry.
