    From the Royal Canadian Mint - Technical Specifications:
    http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn/1-cent-5300004#1_1


    2000 - present*
    Composition: 94% steel, 1.5% nickel, 4.5% copper plating
    Weight (g): 2.35
    Diameter (mm): 19.05
    Thickness (mm): 1.45
    *Note: Since 2000, the 1-cent coin can be produced using either the copper-plated steel or copper-plated zinc compositions.
    ------------------------
    i.e. -* magnetic (steel) & non-magnetic (zinc)

    the coins & Canada website mentioned above is a good reference for Canadian varieties.

    As to whether rare or not, I just know that I've never found a '2006 no P, no logo, magnetic' in circulation (back when they used to circulate;))

    I am having a problem. I hear everyone talk about magnetic and non magnetic, and logo or no logo, P or no P. Im so new at this. My Canadian penny Has the queen on one side, with a little symbol of some sort just under her, and the words 'Elizabeth II' and D G Regina surrounding her head. On the other side, there are the leaves and just under them I says CANADA and above it says 1 cent. On the left side it says 2006, ana the right side has tiny bitty itty letters saying KG. I tried to pick it up with a magnet from my fridge, a strong one too, and it did nothing. It is not magnetic. What does this mean?
