The only US cents that are attracted to a magnet were made in 1943. The coins were struck from steel instead of copper because copper was needed for making ammunition.
1943 steel cents are still fairly common among collectors. Circulated ones generally aren't worth more than 50 cents or so. There's more information at the Related Question.
