Is a copper penny magnetic?
Technically, copper coins cannot be made magnetic because copper cannot be magnetised. The only way to do so in practise is to change the coins' composition. English pennies became magnetic in 1992; made with steel and a fine coating of copper. They used to be completely made of bronze which does not attract. Canadian pennies were made magnetic in 1997 and were made of steel with a thin layer of copper - they would be attracted to a magnet and would appear at first glance to be made of copper. Copper-coloured US cents have never been attracted to a magnet. Cents minted in 1943 were made of zinc-coated steel due to wartime metal shortages but these coins had a silvery-grey colour.

The 1944 steel penny is valued highly because it was produced using leftover steel from World War II, as the U.S. Mint switched back to copper for the penny in that year. In contrast, the 1943 steel penny, made from zinc-coated steel to conserve copper during the war, is much more common, making it less valuable.
