What were us nickels made of in 1940?
In 1940 US nickels were composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. In fact, all US nickels except special "war nickels" made from late 1942 to 1945 are struck in that same alloy. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. These coins are distinguished by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.
Do 1940's nickels have silver?

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made out of silver. These coins are called "nickels" because ... they're made from nickel (and copper). The only nickels to contain any silver were the so-called "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945. Your nickel, and all others ever minted except for war nickels, is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
