Best Answer

None. 1977 US nickels are made of copper and nickel.

In fact, all U.S. nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are all made from that same alloy.

From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.

How much silver is in a Canadian 1978 5 cent coin?

None. Canada has never made a silver nickel. In fact, until recently their nickels were really made of pure nickel, unlike those in the U.S. that are mostly copper. Canada DID, however, once make a much smaller 5-cent coin in silver, but it was last minted in 1921 and was never called a nickel because it didn't have any nickel in it.
