Some are, but not modern US Coins. To be magnetic (attracted by magnets), coins must be mostly nickel or steel.

All of the fractional (cent) coins of Canada are currently made with steel, and will be attracted to a magnet. The 1 pence, 2 pence, 5 pence, and 10 pence coins of the UK are also coated steel and are attracted by magnets, to the extent that designs can be made with them on magnetic surfaces.

Magnets do not attract all metals. In fact, the only metal they do attract is iron. So your keys are metal, but they just have no iron in them.

Why does a one peso coin sticks on a magnet while a five peso coin doesn't?

It depends on the year, if you have a 5 Peso coin struck before 1992, it contains no magnetic material (copper-nickel, brass and silver are not magnetic), if you have a 1 peso coin dated 1984 or later it is magnetic because the coins are struck in steel and steel is magnetic.
