Only to a very limited extent, assuming it's actually made of copper.Copper is a paramagnetic material. Paramagnetic materials are attracted to magnets, but only very weakly. US pennies are mostly zinc with a thin copper cladding (and have been since 1982). Zinc is actually diamagnetic, meaning it's very weakly repelled by a magnet. Even pennies prior to 1982 which were solid copper weren't attracted to a magnet strongly enough to notice without very accurate measuring devices, though.

But you knew that already because you tried using a magnet on an ordinary penny, correct?

Does a real 1943 copper penny stick to a magnet?
No. Copper is not attracted to a magnet.
Are copper and aluminum not attracted by magnet?
No. Any metal that cannot be a magnet cannot be attracted by one.
What will be attracted to ( or repelled by) a magnet?
a copper wire carrying current and another magnet.
Will a copper wire not carrying a current be attracted to a magnet?
No, a copper wire that is not carrying a current will not be attracted to a magnet. Copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that magnetic materials like iron or nickel do.
How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?
Iron is a ferromagnetic metal, and copper is not. Iron will be attracted to the magnet but the copper will not.
What metal is not attracted by a magnet?
Gold Copper Brass Aluminum
Does a penny stick to a magnet?

Which type of nail iron or copper would stick to magnet?

Are copper brass nickel zinc and gold attracted by a magnet?
Nickel is the only element among those listed that's attracted to a magnet.
Can a magnet pick up coins?
The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
Will a magnet be attracted to nickel?
If you mean the metal, yes. If you mean the coin, no.
