If you have access to a bench top grinder its advisable to reduce the 
circumference of the nickel just-a-bit.  Don't just jam them in there.  I 
popped my nickels out this year for the pedals annual service ... no 
problem.  There's a notch in the pedal just for this purpose. 

 I too, just like Edwin, lost my MKS cap.  My first replacement required 
two round trips to the LBS (pick-up and delivery) and $3+ dollars.  After 
that I googled and learned about the nickel trick.  It works great and only 
costs 5 cents.  Gotta love the internet!  If you haven't googled it you 
haven't tried.

Riv sells MKS dust caps. At least they used to. Check there to get some.

No need for the plastic ones!
Pocket full of nickels (and they only cost five cents!),

I've never been able to hang onto a nickel.  How do you do that?
