The U.S. Mint has not produced a nickel with a 5 on the back of in 1945. If someone has stamped it on the coin then they have damaged it as far as numismatic value is concerned and is worth little more than a nickel. If it is made with the five on the back then it is probably a novelty coin of some sort and has a value of no more than you are willing to pay for it. If you think there may be more to the coin than I have said then you may want to take it to a an honest coin dealer and after seeing it then perhaps they can tell you exactly what it is.
I am guessing that you mean a 1942 nickel with the mint mark prominently stamped on the reverse above Monticello. It may be either a D,S or P. These are special wartime nickels that contained 35% silver. 56% copper and 9% manganese They were produced through 1945 and in huge numbers. They are generally worth the value of the silver in them, about $1.60 today. High grade uncirculated coins will have a premium value depending on year and mint.
This is a War Nickel (1942-1945) that has silver in it. The large "S" above the dome identifies it, circulated coins are valued at $1.00-$3.00 uncirculated are $5.00-$10.00 but all values depend on he grade of the coin.
7-5-11>>> The ONLY US nickels to have any silver were the "War Nickels" struck from late 1942 to 1945. And all of them have large mintmarks on the reverse above the dome of Monticello.

8-22-11>>> The only US nickels to contain any silver are the "War-Nickels" that were struck in 35% silver from late 1942 through 1945 and can be identified by the large mintmarks above the dome of Monticello on the reverse.

The amount of money or the value of a 1945 French nickel in 2013 can vary greatly. The value is based on the condition of the coin and where it was minted.
Around $1.50.
$100,000,000,000 because such a coin doesn't exist. Silver was only used in US nickels from 1942-1945 on coins with a large mintmark over the Monticello. A 1957 nickel is a common coin, worth a dollar or so if completely uncirculated but only really 5 cents if circulated.
1938-1942 Side of Monticello. 1942-1945 Top of Monticello. 1946-1964 Back to side of Building. 1965-1967 No Mintmark. 1968-Present Day On front to right of Jefferson.
From late in 1942 to 1945 the US changed the composition of the Jefferson nickels, silver replaced the nickel in the coins so a large mintmark on the reverse was used indicating the change. The coin is 35% silver and worth about $2.00
