Why are coins up to 1991 magnetic?
No British coin is magnetic. Prior to 1992 all British coins were made from non-ferrous metals. The copper-plated steel 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins were first issued in 1992. The nickel-plated steel 5 Pence and 10 Pence coins were first issued in 2011. These are the only British coins in circulation that can be attracted to a magnet since steel is an alloy of iron, a ferrous metal.
When did they start making 1 and 2 pence magnetic?
The lowest denominations of current UK coins will be attracted to a magnet. In the UK, copper-plated steel was used for 1 and 2 pence coins beginning in 1992, replacing their bronze predecessors. Steel, being an alloy of iron, can be attracted to a magnet. The 5 and 10 pence coins were changed to nickel-plated steel in 2011. These coins will also display magnetic properties. In 1998, some 1 and 2 pence coins were issued in bronze (not magnetic).
What is a British 1 Penny coin made from and is it magnetic?
No British coin is magnetic. Coins made from steel can be attracted to a magnet. From 1968 to 2011, the British 10 Pence coin was made from a copper-nickel alloy and therefore have no magnetic properties, copper and nickel both being non-ferrous metals. From late 2011, the British 10 Pence coin is made from nickel plated steel which has some magnetic properties similar to the 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins issued from 1992. The move towards coins made from steel is an effort by many countries to reduce the cost of manufacturing coins. Also, the coins are much more durable, even if the plating is not, and may extend the life expectancy of coins well beyond 50 years.
Can a two pound coin be picked up by a magnet?

How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?

Are Victorian coins of 1898 magnetic?
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.

The only way to find the non-magnetic coins would be to open the roll and look at the dates or go over each of the coins with a magnet.

Can Singapore coins be attracted to a magnet?
No, Singapore coins are made of non-magnetic metals such as cupronickel or copper-clad steel, so they are not attracted to a magnet.
Are all non metals magnetic?
No. All non-metals are not non-magnetic. just like hydrogen which is a non-metal but it is a diamagnetic... another example of oxygen, which is a non-metal but it is paramagnetic... and there are alot of non-metals which are magnetic also..
