Does a clad coin stick to a magnet?
"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.
Why do most coins have nickel in them?

Is the US nickel coin made of nickel?
It's actually made of 75% copper, but when it was introduced in 1866 it was one of the first US coins to have a significant amount of nickel in it. The other was a 3¢ piece. Because there were also silver 3¢ and 5¢ coins people started calling them "three cents silver", "three cents nickel", and so on. By the 1870s all except the nickel 5-cent piece had been discontinued but the old terms lived on for a while; sometimes the coins were called "five-cent nickels" which eventually was shortened to just plain "nickel".
What are 1968 candadian coins made of?
The rising price of silver forced Canada to reduce, then eliminate silver from its coins in 1968. Those minted early in the year were made of 50% silver, 50% copper.

Why are silver coins not made from silver?
Because silver is far too expensive. Coins used to contain silver until about 1920 in the UK, 1965 in the U.S., and 1968 in Canada. Since then they are made from a mixture of copper and nickel, so they really aren't called "silver" coins anymore.
