Between 1942 and 1945 the United States Mint issued "Silver Nickels." During WWII nickel was a precious war supply, so the Mint replaced it with actual silver. A silver nickel today is easily noted by the Mint Mark above the Monticello Dome on the reverse of the coin.

This is an excellent way to inexpensively buy Silver. Each $1 in face value (20 coins) contains coins with a composition of 35% Silver, 56% Copper and 9% Manganese.
