If you are referring to US three cent pieces, they were produced from both silver and nickel. The silver ones were quite small and had a large six-pointed star on one side; the nickel ones were a bit larger (about the size of a dime) with a Liberty head on one side and a large "III" on the the other.

If you are referring to British three pence pieces, they were made, at various times, out of silver, copper-nickel, and brass (and small quantities of the silver ones continue to be produced as Maundy money).
