<p>[QUOTE="Tom987, post: 4627876, member: 113706"]Thank you for all of the replies. How would a nickle plated penny have magnetic properties when a standard nickle that only contains about 25% nickle shows no magnetic properties? Should there not be more nickle in the nickle than in the plating? I was curious about this and when I looked it up all of the information I could find stated that nickle is magnetic near 100% composition. This is why the Canadian nickle will stick to a magnet where a standard nickle will not. I'm just wondering how plating explains the magnetic properties because I have never come across a nickle plated quarter, nickle, or anything else that has stuck to a magnet. Coins are really a vast and interesting topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
