None. 1985 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.

One cent. It's plated. The US never struck silver pennies - they'd be worth far more than one cent if they contained that much silver.

A silver quarter is 90% silver and 10% copper but the last year they were minted was 1964. Your quarter contains no silver whatsoever.
