No. All British Coins minted from the dark ages until 1991 were made from non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, tin or various alloys of those metals.
1992 saw the introduction by the Royal Mint of the copper plated steel Penny and Two Pence.
Steel is an alloy of iron which is a ferrous metal and therefore can be attracted to a magnet.
The only two genuine British coins that should stick to a magnet are the post 1991 Penny and Two Pence. The only exception to this is that some bronze Two Pence coins were minted in 1998.

Why aren't coins magnetic?
Coins are typically made of non-ferrous metals like copper, nickel, and zinc, which are not magnetic. Even if coins contain iron, the amount is usually too small to make them magnetic. Additionally, the process of minting coins involves heating and shaping the metal, which can disrupt any magnetic properties.
