what are magnetic coins?
Magnetic coins are coins that contain a magnetic material, typically a mixture of steel and nickel. These coins are used in countries around the world and can be attracted to magnets due to their composition. The magnetic properties of these coins make them easier to sort and handle in vending machines and coin counters.
Why does a one peso coin sticks on a magnet while a five peso coin doesn't?
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.
Is nickel silver magnetic?
Nickel silver is a type of alloy made from copper, nickel, and zinc, but it does not contain any silver. It is not magnetic because none of the metals it is composed of—copper, nickel, and zinc—are magnetic in their pure form.
Is coal magnetic?
No, coal is not magnetic because it does not contain any magnetic materials such as iron or nickel. Magnetism in materials is usually a result of the alignment of magnetic dipoles within the material, which coal lacks.
Is German silver magnetic?
Nickel is a ferromagnetic material and magnetic. So, German silver (called also: nickel silver, argentan) is magnetic.
Why is my 1994 Hong Kong 10 dollar coin not magnetic as it has nickel in it which is usually picked up with a magnet.?
Your HK$10 coin is not pure nickel. It is an alloy combined with others non-magnetic metals and this causes it to be non-magnetic. Some countries use pure nickel though.
What coins are magnetic and how can you test their magnetic properties?
Some coins, such as the U.S. penny and nickel, are magnetic due to their composition. You can test their magnetic properties by using a magnet to see if the coin is attracted to it. If the coin sticks to the magnet, it is magnetic.
Will a magnetic attract gold?
No, gold is not magnetic. A gold coin that is attracted to a magnet is almost certainly gold plated over an iron or nickel base (though nickel is far less magnetic).
Is nickel magnetic or nonmagnetic?
Nickel is magnetic.
How can you tell the difference in an aluminum coin and a nickel coin?
pure nickel coins will stick to a magnet like canadian nickels also if you have a nickel coin with some other alloy lets say copper and an aluminum coin usually aluminum coins are really much lighter in weight also aluminum coins are extremely light weight
Why doesn't an Australian 10 cent coin attract a magnet?
Because it is made from 75% copper and 25% nickel, not iron or steel. No Australian coin is magnetic.
Why doesn't a 1982 Canadian nickel stick to a magnet?
From 1982 to 1999 all Canadian nickels were made out of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy used in US nickels. That alloy doesn't contain enough nickel to be attracted to a magnet.
what are magnetic coins?

The magnetic properties of these coins make them easier to sort and handle in vending machines and coin counters.
Is nickel magnetic and what properties make it exhibit magnetic behavior?
Yes, nickel is magnetic. Nickel exhibits magnetic behavior due to its atomic structure, specifically its arrangement of electrons. Nickel has unpaired electrons in its outer shell, which allows it to align its magnetic moments in the presence of a magnetic field, resulting in its magnetic properties.
Why does a one peso coin sticks on a magnet while a five peso coin doesn't?
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.
Are Copper Gold Iron Nickel and Silver magnetic?
Copper and silver are not magnetic, while gold is only slightly magnetic. Iron, nickel, and some of their alloys are magnetic due to their atomic arrangement.
What is a 1960 hong kong coin made out of?
5 cent coin: Brass-clad nickel 10 cent coin: Brass-clad nickel 50 cent coin: nickel-clad copper dollar coin: nickel-clad copper.
