<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2641277, member: 66&quot;]Searcher unfortunately you are completely wrong.&nbsp; Pure Nickel is HIGHLY magnetic. (Canadian five, ten and twenty five cent pieces from 1969 to 1981 are pure nickel.&nbsp; Find one and see how well it will jump to a magnet.) But it loses that property if it is alloyed with more than 8 to 12% of other non magnetic metals.&nbsp; If a coin is plated with nickel that layer is fairly pure so it will attact to a magnet, but there is souch a small amount of metal being atracted to the magnet it usually can&#039;t support the weight of the coin it is plated on.&nbsp; But you feel and sometimes see the attraction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
