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.
Coins made from pure nickel, or primarily nickel, will stick to magnets due to nickel being a magnetic metal. However, most commonly used coins, such as those made of copper, zinc, or aluminum, will not stick to magnets because these metals are not magnetic.

Do paper clips stick to magnets?
Yes, paper clips are typically made of steel which is magnetic, so they can stick to magnets.
Does magnetics stick to platinum?
No, magnets do not stick to platinum because platinum is a non-magnetic metal. Platinum is a noble metal that has low reactivity and is not attracted to magnets.
Are magnets attracted to coins?
U.S. paper money and coin money are both magnetic. They both have magnetic properties, but normal magnets rarely affect them. Mostly the stronger neodymium magnets can pull/affect them. The magnetic part of a U.S. note is near the corners where most the ink is at.
Do magnets stick to chalkboards?
Yes. if the magnet is powerful enough, the magnets can attract through virtually anything.
Does north stick to north for magnets?
No. The north sides of two magnets do not stick together because they have the same polarity. The north and south sides of a magnet, however, do stick together because they are on opposite poles and, pertaining to magnets, opposites attract. actually if you push two repelling magnets together so they touch they will stick, without flipping, not entirely sure why they don't repel but it seems that the magnetic fields somehow overlap, so that within the repelling field there is a small of the attracting field, i know this isn't true of the attracting side because the magnets stick together regardless, but on the repelling side when they touch they will stick
What do magnets stick on?
Magnets stick on metal surfaces such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick on other magnets and certain alloys like steel.
What things does magnet stick to?
Magnets stick to materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to certain alloys and other magnets. Materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not generally attracted to magnets.
Will a magnet stick to tin?
No, magnets do not stick to tin because tin is not a magnetic material. Magnets only stick to materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
Will gold stick to magnets?
No, gold is not magnetic and will not stick to magnets. Gold is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it is not attracted to magnets.
Do paper clips stick to magnets?
Yes, paper clips are typically made of steel which is magnetic, so they can stick to magnets.
How does iron stick on magnets?
it does
Do magnets stick to titinum?
no
Do magnets stick to bronze?
no
Does a clad coin stick to a magnet?
"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.
What types of minerals do magnets stick to?
Magnets stick to ferromagnetic minerals such as magnetite, hematite, and pyrrhotite. These minerals contain iron and have magnetic properties that attract to magnets.
Does steel tin and zinc stick to magnets?
Steel and tin are generally magnetic, meaning they are attracted to magnets. Zinc, on the other hand, is not magnetic and does not stick to magnets.
Do safety pins stick to magnets?
Yes, safety pins are typically made of steel, which is a type of metal that can be attracted to magnets. Therefore, safety pins will stick to magnets.
