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.
No, gold is not magnetic and does not attract magnets. It is a non-magnetic metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties.
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.
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.
attract
A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.
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)
