Question: are pennies nickels and dimes magnetic?
Answer: Dimes are made of a copper and nickel alloy. Nickel may be magnetic, but dimes are 75% copper and are not magnetic. In fact, no U.S. coins are magnetic except for the common 1943 cent. ... I have a small collection of silver quarters, nickels, and dimes from the 1930s-1960s--how do I find out how much they're worth?
