1941-D is not a rare date for Jefferson nickels. In circulated condition it's worth maybe 10 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about $3.00 You need to know the coin's condition and mint mark. A well-circulated 1941 nickel from any of the 3 mints would only be worth 7 or 8 cents. If the details are still sharp but with some wear, a D or S mint mark would be around 15 cents while Philadelphia (no m/m) would still be around 8 cents. Uncirculated, the values go up to maybe 30 cents for a Philly issue and 50 or 60 cents for the other 2 mints. Since the value is so low I'd just keep it as a souvenir - perhaps think about the WW2 soldiers who may have handled it.
