No, copper is not magnetic. However, some coins that appear to be copper are in fact made of steel (which is magnetic), coated with a thin layer of copper. Examples of this include British 1 and 2 pence coins minted in or after 1992; South African 1 and 2 cent coins minted in or after 199; and Canadian 1 cent coins minted in or after 1997.

It depends on the year, if you have a 5 Peso coin struck before 1992, it contains no magnetic material (copper-nickel, brass and silver are not magnetic), if you have a 1 peso coin dated 1984 or later it is magnetic because the coins are struck in steel and steel is magnetic.
How can you tell if a coin is 100 percent copper?
To determine if a coin is 100 percent copper, you can use several methods. First, examine the coin for any markings or compositions indicated by the mint, as most coins are not pure copper but rather alloys. A magnet can also be used; pure copper is non-magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to a magnet, it's not pure copper. Finally, you can conduct a visual inspection for oxidation or patina, as pure copper may develop a distinct reddish-brown color over time.
