<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 5148452, member: 66"]As mentioned pure nickel is highly magnetic. When alloyed with other metals it will retain some magnetic attraction until the other metal reaches somewhere around 11% of the composition then it loses its magnetic properties. Out copper nickel coins are 75% copper and 75% is much greater than 11%, so our coins aren't magnetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
