Coins made of mostly nickel, or containing steel, will be attracted to a magnet.
Canadian nickels, dimes, and quarters made in the late 20th century were made of mostly nickel, which was comparatively cheap in Canada. Conversely, from 1982 to 1999, Canadian nickels were not magnetic, being mostly copper like US nickels. Beginning in 2000, all fractional Canadian Coins have steel centers, and are magnetic. $1 and $2 coins are not magnetic.

Since 1992, U.K. pennies have been struck in both bronze and copper-plated steel. However, all 1996 coins were struck in steel so they will all stick to a magnet.
