Special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945 are the only US nickels that contained silver.
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.
All other US nickels are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
