If you mean "are they attracted to a magnet?", the answer depends on whether you're referring to US or Canadian nickels:US nickels are actually 75% copper so they don't contain enough nickel to be attracted to a magnetCanadian nickels have been made of a lot of different alloys:From 1922 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1981 they were made of either nickel or steel, which are attracted to a magnet.Some 1942 and all 1943 nickels were made of a copper/zinc alloy and aren't attracted.From 1982 to 1999, they were made of the same alloy as US nickelsSince 2000, most but not all Canadian nickels have been made of steel.
