Because it have some particles of iron in it,, and also some other metals like alluminium,copper etc.
The opposite of attract when referring to a magnet is repel.
Sterling silver is not magnetic, as it contains no iron. Therefore, it will not attract a magnet.
If it is a magnet, then it can still attract to a refrigerator. If it is a lump of hot metal or hot ceramic, then only gravity will provide attraction. The curie temperature describes when it goes from being a magnet to being a lump.
No, gold is not magnetic and does not attract magnets. It is a non-magnetic metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties.
The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
A magnet only attracts certain metals- primarily iron. Those old coins were not made of iron, but silver, copper and nickel. No reason they SHOULD be attracted by a magnet. Except 1943 US pennies, which WERE made of steel.

what will not attract to a magnet
Silver is a not magnetic metal - the most highly magnetic metal is iron - so no unless the cores of the coins are iron
the south side of one magnet attract to the north side of the other magnet; opposites attract. The molecules get attracted.
Sterling silver is not magnetic, as it contains no iron. Therefore, it will not attract a magnet.
A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.
attract
Metal?
No
Metal?
anything that contains metal, or the opposite polar attraction for the magnet (i.e. the + will attract to the - and vice versa)
