They're actually not very rare. You're probably thinking of the famous "war nickels" that were minted from late 1942 to 1945. They're worth at least $1 each because they were struck in a special alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort.
War nickels can be identified 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, regardless of date, so in average condition, other years from that decade are only worth a small amount above face value.
