There really isn't a "yes" or "no" answer to this question. There are two types of tin: white tin and gray tin. White tin is paramagnetic, while gray tin is diamagnetic. Paramagnetic materials will have its dipoles(a closed circulation of electric current) orient with the magnetic field, when exposed. Diamagnetic materials, on the other had, will orient the opposite field. There's a bit more to it than that...but without knowing your level of knowledge in physics and chemistry, it would be difficult to explain in its entirety. I hope that answered your question at least a little...

Is tin plate ferrous?
The tin is not, but the term tin plate usually refers to steel that's plated with tin. The steel is made from iron, and the term ferrous means having to do with iron. It's no coincidence that the chemical symbol for iron is Fe and that the word for iron in other languages involve the letters f,e,r. Cans for most canned goods are tin plate. The only metals that are magnetic are iron, nickel and cobalt. Nickel and cobalt are magnetic but are not ferrous because they have nothing to do with iron.

Why are old 2p coins not magnetic and new ones are?
because old 2p coins are made out of bronze. Bronze is made out of tin and copper, these metals aren't magnetic. However, new 2p coins just look like they are made out of copper, however they only have a coating of copper on them, but the inside is steel, this is called copper plated steel. They are magnetic because steel is magnetic and makes up the majority of the coin.
