[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4714965, member: 78298"]Nickel is magnetic. Our nickels are not magnetic because they are 75% copper and 25% nickel. But all those Canadian coins that are made out of nickel stick to a magnet. The steelie should weigh less (2.7 but they often run a little heavy 2.8 as mentioned). Even if it was a slightly thicker planchet it's not out of tolerance by much. And the reprocessing has decreased the value of the coin to 1 cent.[/QUOTE]
