    Just so you know, it's not an error. It was probably coated by someone with some extra time on their hands.

    The cent is copper plated steel. That is the way the Royal Canadian Mint minted it. Here is a reference for 1999-2003 Canadian cents. Yes it is magnetic. Some 1999 Canadian cents were also minted using different material (zinc) and are not magnetic.
