From 1947 onwards, all British general circulation "silver" coins were made from a copper/nickel alloy giving a silvery appearance. Many non-circulating and proof coins are still made from silver, but this is reflected in the price you pay for them.
When did Britain stop using silver in coins?
No British coin has ever been 100% silver. For hundreds of years, British silver coins had a very high proportion of silver in them. From the Great Recoinage Act of 1816, British silver coins were standardised to sterling silver with a 92.5% silver content. The use of sterling silver to mint silver coins continued until 1919/1920 when, due to a sharp increase in the price of silver, British coins were debased to 50% silver. The 50% silver content continued to 1946 when, due to Britains pressing need to repay war loans to the US, the use of silver was discontinued. All British silver coins from 1947 onwards were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

What is the standard of fineness of British coins?
No British decimal general circulation coin has any gold or silver content. Since the Great Recoinage Law of 1816, all gold coins including the Five Pound, Two Pound, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins were made to a fineness of 22 carat or 91.67% gold. Since decimal currency was introduced, these gold coins are non-circulating legal tender made for collectors and investors. Silver coins were traditionally 92.5% (0.925 fineness) silver until the end of the First World War and the spiralling price of silver. From 1919, all silver coins were produced with 50% (0.5000 fineness) silver until 1946. From 1947 onwards, due to Britains need to repay war loans to the USA, there was no silver in any British general circulation coin. These days since the introduction of decimal currency, there is a range of non-circulating legal tender silver coins with a silver content varying from 0.925 to 0.990 (pure silver) depending on the coin concerned. There is also a further range of high value Bullion coins of a gold and silver alloy. These are made from 22 carat (91.67% gold) and mostly silver for the rest.

When did it become legal to melt silver coins?
If you are asking about melting silver coins in the US, it is not illegal. I think Canada may have laws against it as do many other countries but as of today the USA does not deem it illegal. There is a recent law (regulation by the Mint) that prohibits melting pennies and nickels for their metal value, as the value of the metal exceeds the face value of the coin. You may still use them as artistic material for sculpture, etc. As the Mint does not produce silver coins anymore, they have no interest in those coins. Bullion producers buy them and melt them by the ton.
