In some dialects of English (e.g. High tider), "nicket" means a very small amount. This citation uses "nicket", but it could just be a typo for "nickel" (semantically, both interpretations are possible):
- 1954, The Internal Revenue Code of 1954: Hearings Before the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, Eighty-third Congress, Second Session, on H.R. 8300, An Act to Revise the Internal Revenue Laws of the United States, volume 2, page 693:
- In 1952 alone shareholders invested $8 billion of their incomes without paying a nicket of tax.
