The only US Coins strongly attracted to a magnet were 1943 cents struck in steel instead of copper.

All other US coins contain mostly non-magnetic metals such as copper, silver (up to 1964), zinc, etc. While pure nickel is attracted to a magnet, the amount used in most US coins is such a small percentage of the overall metal that the coins won't stick.
