The only US Coins strongly attracted to a magnet were 1943 cents struck in steel instead of copper.
All other US coins contain mostly non-magnetic metals such as copper, silver (up to 1964), zinc, etc. While pure nickel is attracted to a magnet, the amount used in most US coins is such a small percentage of the overall metal that the coins won't stick.

∙ 13y agoI would say all because they are metals after all.And metal attracts to all magnets.
Edit: not necessarily all metals are attracted to magnets. The main metal that is attracted to magnets is iron, and all its alloys (steel, mainly). Coins are not made of iron, they are made of copper and nickel for the most part. Copper is not magnetic, and while nickel is magnetic in its purest form, a quarter made out or pure nickel would require more than a quarter's worth of nickel, and are therefore made out of non-magnetic alloys.
