Zero. No general circulation New Zealand decimal coin has any silver content, or any other precious metal.

Prior to 1947, New Zealand predecimal silver coins had a 50% silver content.

All "silver" coins minted from 1947 onwards were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

The only exception to this was the 1949 Crown (Five Shillings) which was minted from 50% silver.

What year did the San Francisco mint stop minting coins for circulation?

1964 was the last date of silver quarters. There are a couple of technicalities here. First, quarters were never pure silver. The silver was always alloyed with about 10% copper. Second, during the changeover to cupronickel clad coinage, silver quarters were struck during calendar 1965 but they still had the date 1964, so there's no way to tell what year a "1964" quarter was actually minted. 1964 was the last year the US produced silver quarters for circulation. There have been silver quarters issued since 1964 but they were primarily special coins for collectors and investors.

What was the date that pure silver coins were minted in UK?

"Pure" silver coins were never minted in Britain. The closest to pure silver used in coins is sterling silver which is 92.5% silver usually alloyed with copper. Sterling silver coins were last issued for general circulation in 1919 and 1920, beyond 1919/1920 the coins were debased to 50% silver. The Royal Mint still produces Proof and bullion coins (not for general circulation) which are made from sterling silver, but this is reflected in the price you pay for them.

Are coins minted with future years on them?

Coins are occasionally minted with a date that's different from the calendar year in which they were made. Some examples:In 1999, the US Mint started striking 2000-dated $1 coins so that there would be a large supply on hand for release at the start of the next year.From 1999 to 2001 some states in the EU minted euro coins dated 2002, again so there would be enough on hand when the euro became the official European currency. (Interestingly, the date process was optional and some states minted coins with the calendar years on them.)During the changeover from silver to copper-nickel coins the US continued to mint 1964-dated silver coins well into 1965 while simultaneously making 1965-dated clad coins. To avoid an artificial shortage of 1965 coins, that date was maintained through part of 1966.During the Mint's early years coin dies were used until they wore out so it was not unusual for coins with a prior year's date to be minted for the first couple of months each year.
