1971 to 1999 dollars were made of copper-nickel

Current golden-colored dollars are made of manganese brass.

Are silver dollars made of pure silver?

Silver dollar coins (1794-1935) were never made of pure silver. It's too soft and the coins would wear out very quickly. They (and most other silver US coins) were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Circulating US dollar coins were made of copper-nickel from 1971 to 1999. The composition was changed to gold-toned brass in 2000. Modern "eagle" coins with an artificial $1 denomination are made of 99.9% pure silver, but these coins aren't intended for spending.
