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.
