What is a nickel coin made of? A: Today, the United States nickel coin is made of a 100 percent copper center, with a surface made of 25% nickel and 75% copper. But this wasn't always the case. In the past, the nickel was called a half disme and was made from silver. Disme is pronounced the same way as the word dime.
I don't know about the foregin coins but us coins were made out of silver from about 1796-1964 but the nickel and the penny were not made of 90% silver. But from 1942-1945 the Jefferson nickel was made out of 35% silver. From 1965-1967 the JFK half dollar was made out of 40% silver. B Dog Â· 8 years ago.
