Quarters are made of a cupronickel alloy which contains nickel, copper, and manganese. These metals are not magnetic, so quarters are not generally attracted to magnets. However, some older quarters minted with silver may contain trace amounts of magnetic materials.

Are us quarters magnetic?
US quarters are not typically magnetic. Quarters are made of a combination of metals, including copper and nickel, which are not magnetic.
Why are some of your quarters not magnetic?
I'm not sure about quarters in particular.I do know that the British 1 and 2 pence coins used to be made of copper, a non-magnetic element. However recently the price of copper rose so much that the 1 and 2 pence cions were worth more than 1 or 2p. To remedy the situation the coins are now made of copper-plated steel. Steel is magnetic, hence the coins are.In short I would guess it is because some quarters are made of magnetic metals like steel and nickel whereas other are not.

Is gold a magnetic or a non magnetic?
Gold is not magnetic as it is a diamagnetic material, meaning it does not have a magnetic field of its own and is not attracted to magnets.
Approximately how much have you saved if your quarters weigh 12.6 pounds?
Assuming all quarters are the same weight, and a quarter weighs about 5.67 grams, then 12.6 pounds is roughly 2,291 quarters. 2,291 quarters is equivalent to $572.75.

Why wont a quarter stick to a magnet?
Quarters are made of non-magnetic materials like copper and nickel, which do not have magnetic properties. Therefore, a quarter will not stick to a magnet because there are no magnetic forces attracting the two objects together.
Is the coin quarter magnetic?
Coins made of steel, iron or nickel would normally be magnetic. Exceptions are alloys, where the exact composition determines whether the charges of the atoms align (there are magnetic and non-magnetic variants of stainless steel).During World War II, US pennies were made of zinc-plated steel, and hence were magnetic. US nickels (5 cents) are 75% copper and 25% nickel, and are not magnetic, and neither are the "clad" copper-sandwich coins or the "gold" dollar coins (which are brass).Canadian nickels have been made of magnetic alloys several times, most recently 99% nickel from 1954 to 1981, and coated steel since 2000. From 1982 to 1999, Canada used the same copper-nickel alloy that US nickels are made of.
Are Canadian quarters magnetic?
Canadian coins are not magnets, but the fractional coins are magnetic, because many have been historically made with mostly nickel, and with steel centers since 1999. The current fractional coins (5, 10, 25, 50 cents) are all magnetic. The $1 and $2 coins are not magnetic.Canadian nickels and dimes have often been removed from US circulation by devices used to reject steel slugs.
