Some are.

The 1, 2, and 5 cent pieces are very magnetic, being composed of copper-plated steel. The 1 euro and 2 euro coins are less magnetic, but the "silver" part is actually cupro-nickel, so it reacts to magnets.

Even some paper bill denominations (above 10 euro) have a bit of magnetic ink. If you have a strong enough magnet, you can see and feel the effect.

The least reactive are the 10, 20, and 50-cent coins, which are made of an alloy named Nordic gold : 89% copper, 5% aluminum, 5% zinc, and 1% tin.
