Depends, Some countries use steel coins with copper or nickel plating making them ferrous (New Zealand 10,20,50 cent coins for example). Most countries use non ferrous alloys in coins. The usual ones are copper coated zinc for copper coins. Copper-Nickel alloy for silver coins and Aluminium-Copper for gold coloured coins.
