The 90% silver 1943 Mercury dimes, Washington quarters, and Walking Liberty half dollars haven’t really circulated since the 1960s — though there are occasional reports of old 1943 silver coins popping up in pocket change every now and then. 1943 nickels are also historically significant. Unlike regular Jefferson nickels (which are made from 75% copper and 25% nickel), Jefferson nickels made from late 1942 through 1945 are made from a composition consisting of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese to ration nickel for World War II artillery.
