Almost-pure alloys of any of these elements should be magnetic, too.</p><p>Steel has iron in it. </p><p>But the clad quarters are mostly copper, the core being copper and the outer layers being 75% copper and 25% nickel. Not enough nickel to be magnetic.</p><p>Please show a photo of this coin sticking to a magnet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
