Only certain metals have an atomic arrangement that causes them to be attracted to a magnet. Nickel, iron, and steel are among the most common. Copper, gold, and silver are not arranged in a way that causes them to be attracted. True silver dollars (1935 and before) are 90% silver and 10% copper so they do not contain any magnetic metal. Modern dollar coins (1971 and later) aren't silver, they're mostly copper with the rest being nickel or manganese. There's not enough nickel in them to be attracted to a magnet.
