<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 3035774, member: 88401&quot;]Well after reading some of the discussion links I did check and indeed the Fals in the OP is very attracted to the small rare earth magnets I have but not attracted at all to a weak refrigerator magnet. None of the other coins I have are at all attracted to even the rare earths. I deduce from this per the discussions is that the alloy has just enough maybe only a few percent however of iron that has possibly crystallized in a specific way to form larger iron deposits within the structure of the coin. There is a journal article I also found about it but only a short abstract was available. i will post that link here if anyone is interested: <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0305440383901267" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0305440383901267" rel="nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0305440383901267</a></p><p>Thanks Doug - your Pautalia is interesting as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
