Yes, a 1946 nickel does contain silver. Nickels minted from 1942-1945 were made with a composition of 35% silver and 56% copper, due to the wartime need for nickel. After 1945, nickel composition returned to the standard 75% copper and 25% nickel.

For most dates, none. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.
