Values vary significantly depending on their date, mint mark, and condition. For specific information please look for questions in the form "What is the value of a <date> US nickel?"

Remember, unlike higher-denomination coins, US nickels generally didn't contain silver before 1965. They were made of the same cupronickel alloy used in current nickels so common-date coins aren't very valuable. However some early-date Jeffersons including 1939-D and 1950-D can sell for several dollars.

The only exception to the use of cupronickel alloy occurred during WWII when nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Nickels dated 1942 to 1945 with a large mint mark over Monticello's dome contain a gram of silver, so they can be worth a dollar or so as scrap metal. War nickels in better condition of course can be worth even more to a collector.
