What years of nickels dimes and quarters are worth more than face value?

That's an extremely broad question! Dimes and quarters have been made since the 1790s and nickels since 1866, plus they've been struck at five different mints so there's a huge number of possible date and mint mark combinations.
A simple summary would be:
- Any of the coins that contain silver are worth more than face value simply as scrap metal. That includes
> Dimes and quarters dated 1964 or earlier
> Nickels dated 1942 to 1945 with a large mint mark on the back (the ONLY years for silver nickels)
- Dimes and quarters minted before approximately 1950 are often worth more as collectibles than they are as scrap metal.
- Nickels minted before 1940 are worth more as collectibles.
That said, valuable coins rarely turn up in circulation anymore. You may find one if it was accidentally spent or otherwise "slipped out", so it doesn't hurt to keep looking but it only happens very occasionally.
Even if you do find an old coin in change or inherit a collection there are enormous variations in price from year to year and from one mint mark to another within a given year. There are many books and online guides that can help you determine whether a particular coin is really valuable, or simply old. This site has thousands of such questions posted. Look for ones in the form "What is the value of a <date> US <coin-name>?"; for example, "What is the value of a 1948 US quarter?"
