i have a 1946 penny that appears to be steel coated with either copper or zinc in middle is it worth money it sticks to a magnet?

If it sticks to a magnet you may have what's called an "off-metal strike". That error happens when a blank intended for a foreign coin accidentally gets mixed in with blanks for US Coins and is struck with a US design.

Alternately, make sure the date isn't worn and isn't really 1943. Those cents were made from zinc-coated steel to save copper for the war effort. In average condition they're only worth a quarter or so.

A final call would have to be made by a dealer or other coin expert who could examine your coin in person.
