coins are generally made of metals and alloys and are inorganic
Coins are inorganic. They are typically made of metal, such as copper, nickel, and zinc. These materials are mined from the earth and then processed to create coins.
Carbon-14 dating is not useful for dating old coins because the carbon in the coins may have come from contamination or other sources, making it unreliable. For old pieces of cloth, the carbon in the material is more likely to accurately reflect the age of the fabric itself, as long as proper dating techniques are used to avoid contamination.

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.
Old coins may contain iron or steel components, which can make them slightly magnetic. Coins made of metals like nickel or steel can exhibit magnetic properties due to their composition. Magnetic attraction to old coins is a result of the metal content within the coins.
