Not in the US. Except during WWII, all US nickels are actually 75% copper and only 25% nickel. "War nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945 were composed of an alloy of silver, copper, and manganese because nickel was needed for the war effort.

Canadian nickels, however, were made of 99+% nickel from their introduction in 1922 till the end of the 20th century when the composition was changed to plated steel.
