No. "Magnetic" means that a piece of metal is itself magnetized, so coins are never magnetic. However metals like steel and nickel are attracted to a magnet. But in the case of US coins, most of them contain a high enough concentration of other metals (copper today, silver in the past) that they're not attracted to a magnet.

The only exception to this were the famous 1943 1-cent coins that were made from steel because copper was needed for the war effort.

You can't magnetize US Coins since they are made of non-magnetic materials like copper, nickel, and zinc. If you're looking to experiment with magnetizing objects, you may want to use items made of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, or cobalt.

You really can't. If you would even try it would destroy the coins value.
