"Nickels" are actually 75% copper. Only 25% of the metal is nickel. The two metals are alloyed (i.e. mixed together) so the coins are solid rather than layered like dimes, quarters, and halves.
FWIW, the outer layers of those 3 denominations are made of the same 75/25 cupronickel alloy that's used for 5c pieces.
