Coins themselves aren't magnetic because they're not magnetized. However some coins are attracted to a magnet because they're made of metals like nickel or steel. Examples include:
- Most modern Canadian Coins
- British 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins made since 2012
- US 1¢ coins dated 1943
- EU 1, 2, and 5 cent coins
While many other coins around the world contain nickel, it's usually alloyed with significant amounts of copper (usually 75% or 80%), which prevents these coins from being attracted to a magnet.
