There are no reports of 1936 buffalo nickels being struck in the wrong metal.

If you have access to a sensitive scale, weigh your coin. All buffalo nickels have a nominal weight of 5.0 gm so if your coin is close to that value, it's almost certain it was discolored or plated, possibly as part of a common high school chemistry experiment.

If its weight is significantly different from 5.0 gm (e.g. 4.5, 5.7, etc.) it should be examined in person by a dealer or appraiser who handles error coins.
