your scale... is it one of those little ones that's supposed to weight letters and such, where you clamp whatever being weighed to an alligator clip and the pointer arrow showes the weight. if so a nickel like .05$ weights exactly 5g.

P.S. the gram is from the metric system of measurement.

Oh, or you could go to a store and buy some OTC medicine that is cheap and get 1000mg (1g) of whatever you buy and put on ur scale. It might work.

I have had to make a home made scale in desperation before, a nickle weighs just about 5g exactly, I just set me up a balancing beams to get the job done, it was very primitive, but served the purpose at the time
