NO magnets arent attracted to copper
No, a real 1943 copper penny does not stick to a magnet because 1943 pennies were made of zinc-coated steel and not copper due to the shortage of copper during World War II.
No, a US silver dollar does not stick to a magnet because silver is not a magnetic metal. United States silver dollars are made primarily of silver, which is a non-magnetic metal, so they will not be attracted to a magnet.
You can tell if a 1944 penny is made of steel by using a magnet. Place a magnet near the penny - if it sticks, then the penny is made of steel. Steel pennies were issued in 1943 due to a shortage of copper, so any 1944 penny made of steel would be an error.
For the same reason no other US cents stick to a magnet, except those dated 1943 - all other cents up to mi-1982 were made of bronze, which isn't a magnetic material.You DID try some other dates first . . . ?
1943 cents were made of steel, a magnetic metal, to conserve copper for the war effort. Other pennies are made of bronze or copper-plated zinc depending on their dates. Neither bronze nor zinc are susceptible to a magnet.

A normal 1979 penny will not stick to a magnet -- it's made almost entirely of copper -- a non-magnetic material. So for your coin to stick to a magnet, it has to either be fake, or plated with some kind of magnetic material. In either case, it's value would only be as a novelty item -- perhaps a couple dollars at best.
