Why are silver coins non magnetic?
Silver U.S. coins are made entirely of silver and copper -- neither of which is a magnetic metal. Base metal coins that are magnetic, likely contain some amount of iron -- a magnetic metal, or a high concentration of nickel which is also attracted to a magnet.
Can your coin still have silver in it if a magnet sticks to it because it has that silver sound?
It's possible, but the percentage of silver would be very low, as silver is non-magnetic. <<>> If the coin is magnetic it is probably a steel one with plating on top of it. In the UK, 1p and 2p coins are copper-plated steel, while 5p and 10p are steel with nickel plating.

What is used in magnets more often Nickel or Silver?
Nickel is used to make magnets more often than silver is, for two main reasons: 1). Silver is much more expensive than nickel. 2). Silver is diamagnetic. That means it has a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields, it's slightly repelled by a magnetic field, and it does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. That means that even if silver were much cheaper than nickel, silver makes crummy magnets that are totally useless as magnets, and you would just have to use nickel anyway.
Is electroplated nickel silver magnetic?
Pure nickel is magnetic at/or near room temperature but above and ceasses to have this property above 355°C. Nickel base superalloys are used in ultra critical components of aero engines where magnetism will be detrimental,so be rest assured nickel base superalloys are not magnetic.
