All US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of an alloy of 25% copper and 75% nickel.
Nickels minted from mid-1942 to 1945 were made of copper, silver, and manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are identified by a large mintmark letter over the dome of Monticello. Despite a lot of popular misunderstandings, those are the ONLY 5-cent pieces that have any silver in them.
