It depends on which country we are talking about.
For the US, there is only one magnetic coin the 1943 steel penny.
For Canada, there have been some magnetic pennies made since 2000, though there were zinc pennies made until 2008.
For the UK, pennies have been magnetic (copper plated steel) since 1992.
What else can I help you with?
Are pennies magnetic?
No, pennies are not magnetic. They are made mostly of copper and do not contain enough iron to be magnetic.
Are pennies ferromagnetic?
No, pennies are not ferromagnetic because they do not contain enough iron to exhibit magnetic properties. The composition of pennies primarily consists of copper and zinc, which are not magnetic materials.
How do you separate paperclips and pennies from each other?
One way to separate paperclips from pennies is to use a magnet. Paperclips are made of metal and will be attracted to the magnet, while pennies are not magnetic and will not be affected. Simply wave the magnet near the mixture to attract the paperclips.
Is a penny an magnet?
No. Pennies were made of copper (Now US pennies are made of copper plated zinc) Magnets are made of iron or other ferro-magnetic metals.
Why are some 2006 pennies magnetic and some are not?
All U.S. cents issued since 1982 have been struck in copper-plated zinc which is not magnetic. If you have a magnetic U.S. cent with that date it is either a fake or an altered coin. 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. If you have additional information, please post a new question.

Are us penny's magnetic?

Does 1944 pennies stick to a maganet?
No, 1944 pennies do not stick to a magnet because they are primarily made of copper, which is not magnetic. However, during World War II, some pennies were made of zinc-coated steel, specifically in 1943, which would be magnetic. If you have a 1944 penny, it should not be attracted to a magnet.

Why are new pennies magnetic but old one not?
What country are you talking about? New U.S. cents are not magnetic; they're made of copper-plated zinc. The only magnetic U.S. cents were the steel ones minted during 1943 so copper could be used in ammunition. New Canadian cents and British pennies are magnetic because they're made of copper-plated steel. The price of copper went up so much that it cost more than a penny to mint the coins, so the governments were losing money on each one. They switched to steel as a cheaper alternative.
Why do some British pennies stick to the magnets when others did not?
British Pennies and Twopences minted from 1992 onwards are made from copper plated steel. Steel being an alloy of iron and other things, is magnetic. Earlier British Pennies and Twopences were made from bronze which is mostly copper. Copper is a non-ferrous metal and has no magnetic properties.
Was the 1943 bronze wheat penny magnetic?
No, the 1943 bronze wheat penny is not magnetic because it is made of bronze, which is not attracted to magnets. Only the 1943 steel pennies, which were produced due to a shortage of copper during World War II, are magnetic because they are made of steel.
