Pure nickel is magnetic. However, US nickels aren't magnetic because they are made of an alloy (a combination of different metals) that's mostly copper.
However, older Canadian nickels are pure nickel, so they are magnetic. Newer Canadian nickels are steel so they're still attracted to a magnet.

Is sulfur magnetic or non magnetic?
Sulfur is non-magnetic. It does not have magnetic properties like iron or nickel, which are considered magnetic materials.
What is a 5 letter magnetic material?
One example of a 5-letter magnetic material is nickel. Nickel is a ferromagnetic metal that exhibits magnetic properties, making it suitable for various applications such as in magnets and magnetic alloys.
Why is iron magnetic and nickel or copper is not?
Iron is magnetic because it has unpaired electrons in its outer shell that align in the presence of a magnetic field. Nickel and copper do not have as many unpaired electrons in their outer shell, making them non-magnetic under normal conditions.
Which Elements that are naturally magnetic at room temperature?
Iron, cobalt, and nickel are the elements that are naturally magnetic at room temperature.
Is electroplated nickel silver magnetic?
Pure nickel is magnetic at/or near room temperature but above and ceasses to have this property above 355°C. Nickel base superalloys are used in ultra critical components of aero engines where magnetism will be detrimental,so be rest assured nickel base superalloys are not magnetic.
