Canadian Coins are not magnets, but the fractional coins are magnetic, because many have been historically made with mostly nickel, and with steel centers since 1999. The current fractional coins (5, 10, 25, 50 cents) are all magnetic. The $1 and $2 coins are not magnetic.
Canadian nickels and dimes have often been removed from US circulation by devices used to reject steel slugs.
