If you're referring to true US or Canadian silver dollars made of silver and copper, the answer is no. Neither metal has the correct atomic structure to be attracted to a magnet.

Modern US $1 coins are either cupronickel (1971-81 and 1999) or manganese brass. The latter is not attracted to a magnet, and while high-purity nickel alloys can stick the percentage of nickel in the older coins is too low - only about 8%.

In contrast, modern Canadian $1 coins were mostly nickel and are now mostly steel so they are attracted.

Does silver stick to a magnet?

A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.

Does a 1922 susan b Anthony dollar stick to a magnet?

Check the coin again and you should see that it is a peace dollar. Susan B Anthony dollars were made from 1979 to 1981 and again in 1999. The answer to the question is no a peace dollar does not stick to a magnet. This is because it is made of 90% silver and 10% copper and neither have magnetic properties. A Susan B Anthony dollar won't stick either.


Is silver doesnt stick to a magnet what does that mean?

Silver is not magnetic, which means it cannot be attracted by a magnet. This property is due to the arrangement of its electrons that does not create a magnetic field. So, if silver does not stick to a magnet, it simply indicates that it is not a magnetic material.
