Can thumbtacks be attracted to magnet?

Can magnets pick up nickel?
Normally nickel plating is applied to base metals that aren't attracted to a magnet. At the atomic level the plating itself is attracted but it's such a small amount of the total composition that the entire item won't stick to a magnet. The nickel component of US nickels (and nickel-clad coins such as dimes, quarters, and half-dollars) is so low that the coins aren't attracted for the same reason. Nickel metal makes up only 25% of a nickel coin and 8% of the other coins.
Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
=No not all metals are attracted to a magnet for example tin isn't attracted to a magnet. Hopes this helps a bit.=
Can Singapore coins be attracted to a magnet?

Can Singapore's new coins be 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.
Are copper coins attracted to a magnet?
No. Copper is not magnetic. However, some countries may issue coins that are copper-plated steel (as opposed to copper-plated zinc like the US cent). These steel coins, as well as other coins mostly made of steel and/or nickel, would be attracted to a magnet.
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.
Why would a magnet not attract to old coins?
A magnet only attracts certain metals- primarily iron. Those old coins were not made of iron, but silver, copper and nickel. No reason they SHOULD be attracted by a magnet. Except 1943 US pennies, which WERE made of steel.
What sticks to a temporary magnet?
Anything that is attracted to a permanent magnet will be attracted to (sticks to) a temporary magnet.
Are silver dollar coins magnetic?
No genuine silver coin will stick to a magnet. US silver coins are made of an alloy of silver and a small amount of copper, usually 90%/10% and neither of those metals is attracted to a magnet. However genuine 1799 dollars are rare, and it's very possible you have one of the many fakes that have flooded the market in recent years. These could be made of any base metal including those like steel that would be attracted.
How do you know if a 1972 Canada Dollar is silver?
Standard circulation strikes are made of almost pure nickel so they'll be attracted to a magnet. In addition the coins will have a slightly darker appearance similar to US nickel coins. Proof issues are part silver and won't be attracted to a magnet. These coins would normally be in protective packaging because they were never intended to circulate.
Is phosphorus attracted by magnet?
Phosphorus is not a ferrous metal and cannot be attracted by magnet.
Would silicon be attracted by a magnet?
No it would not be attracted by a magnet bc it is non metal
Does a magnet stick to a silver dollar?
If you're referring to true US or Canadian silver dollars made of silver and copper, the answer is no. Neither metal has the correct atomic structure to be attracted to a magnet. Modern US $1 coins are either cupronickel (1971-81 and 1999) or manganese brass. The latter is not attracted to a magnet, and while high-purity nickel alloys can stick the percentage of nickel in the older coins is too low - only about 8%. In contrast, modern Canadian $1 coins were mostly nickel and are now mostly steel so they are attracted.
