No, they do not contain any silver. Only nickels made from 1942 until 1945 contain silver.

Are nickels silver?
If you are asking about US coins the answer is no with the exception of the years of WW11. They are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper since they were first introduced. In 1942-45 they were made with 35% silver, 56% copper and 9% manganese. These nickels are generally worth more for their silver content of around $2.
How do you know if a 1972 silver dollar is really silver?
It's easy to tell 1972 Ike dollars apart. If it has no mint mark or a D above the date, it's made of copper-nickel and is worth face value to maybe $1.25 in circulated condition. If it has an S mint mark it's made of 40% clad silver and might be worth about $7, mostly for its silver content. Some other years saw more varieties, but even so they're still simple to tell apart. The silver issues are lighter in color than the copper-nickel ones. Also the edge on a copper-nickel dollar will plainly show its copper color, while the edge on a silver-clad coin will be somewhat grayish.

What US nickels are made of silver?
The only US nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" minted from mid-1942 to 1945. These coins were struck in an alloy of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese because nickel was needed for the war effort.In average condition these coins are worth around $1.00 to $1.50, mostly for their silver content. For more specific values, please see the Related Questions for each date.Other old nickelsMany people assume that because dimes, quarters, and half dollars were made of silver before 1965, nickels were as well. In fact all other dates of nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. If you think about it for a while, a nickel is over twice the size of a dime so if it had been mostly silver it would have been worth much more than a dime, rather than just 5 cents.
