All coins, except pennies, have some nickel in them. Nickels have the most nickel. The authority, the US Mint, has a chart of these, given as the reference.

They did when they first came out a hundred years ago or so. They stopped making them with nickel sometime around the 1950's.

Yes. Nickel (25%) and copper (75%).

It is disturbing that people answer without researching what they write.

Not much -- nickel metal is costly. Most of the metal is zinc, which is cheap.
