Why is a magnet attracted to a dollar bill but not at a coin?
Magnets are attracted to dollar bills because they are made out of magnetic ink. They use magnetic ink because it helps them detect fake money.CorrectionUS $1 bills do NOT use magnetic ink, and magnetism isn't used as an anti-counterfeiting feature. Special paper and printing are used to help deter faking of $1 and $2 bills, while additional features such as security strips, watermarks, and multiple colors are used on higher-value bills.US coins aren't attracted to a magnet because they're mostly copper (except for cents, which are copper-plated zinc) and neither of those metals has magnetic properties. However, some countries' coins ARE attracted to a magnet - for example many Canadian coins, and lower-denomination UK and EU coins are made of steel so they stick very firmly.The only US coins that stick to a magnet were special cents struck in 1943, when copper was needed for the war effort. The coins were made of zinc-plated steel and were silver-gray in color rather than copper-colored.
