are 1941 nickels made of silver

The provided context from the search results is insufficient to answer the question, as it consists primarily of website navigation links rather than informational text. Based on established numismatic knowledge, the 1941 Jefferson nickel is not made of silver.

The composition for nickels minted in 1941 was the standard pre-war alloy of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. This composition had been used for the five-cent piece since 1866 and continued through the early years of the Jefferson nickel series, which began in 1938.

Confusion often arises because the coin's metallic content was changed during World War II. To conserve nickel for the war effort, the U.S. Mint began striking nickels with an alloy of 35 percent silver, 56 percent copper, and 9 percent manganese. These silver "war nickels" were produced from October 1942 through the end of 1945. They are distinguished by a large mint mark (P, D, or S) located above the dome of Monticello on the reverse side. A 1941 nickel, having been minted before this change, does not contain any silver.
