Yes. "War nickels" contain a small amount of silver, worth about 0.05 times the metal's current spot price.
To explain the use of silver, the coin's composition was changed because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. War nickels were made from an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese so the each coin contains 1.75 gm of silver.
War nickels were minted from late 1942 to 1945 and can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.
All US other US nickels, regardless of date, are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
