Please try the rest of the pennies in your pocket change.
NO American cent will stick to a magnet except the steel ones minted in 1943. All the rest are either bronze (up to mid-1982) or zinc (mid-1982 to the present) and neither of those materials are attracted to a magnet.

Why do strong magnets attract both poles of weaker magnets?
coz if you try to attract a weak and a weak side it wont stick. same with the strong and strong side. But if you put a strong side next to a weak side it will attach. When a strong magnet is brought nearby the domains line up more closely with the magnetic field. The result of this reorientation is an overall magnetization of the weaker magnet.

most definitely a magnet the size of a penny has broken my mp3 i got for xmas it wont turn on now.
