The only U.S. nickels to ever have silver in them were minted from the latter part of 1942 until the end of the 1945 minting year. These nickels are identified by the very large mint mark located on the reverse (tails) side of the coin above the dome of Monticello.

What is used in magnets more often Nickel or Silver?
Nickel is used to make magnets more often than silver is, for two main reasons: 1). Silver is much more expensive than nickel. 2). Silver is diamagnetic. That means it has a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields, it's slightly repelled by a magnetic field, and it does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. That means that even if silver were much cheaper than nickel, silver makes crummy magnets that are totally useless as magnets, and you would just have to use nickel anyway.
