Coins made of mostly nickel, or containing steel, will be attracted to a magnet.
Canadian nickels, dimes, and quarters made in the late 20th century were made of mostly nickel, which was comparatively cheap in Canada. Conversely, from 1982 to 1999, Canadian nickels were not magnetic, being mostly copper like US nickels. Beginning in 2000, all fractional Canadian Coins have steel centers, and are magnetic. $1 and $2 coins are not magnetic.

Why are some pennies magnetic and others not?
Among American pennies (cents, actually) only the famous wartime steel cents made in 1943 are magnetic. All other US cents are made of metals such as bronze or zinc that aren't attracted to a magnet. In 200 Canada changed the composition of its cents to copper-plated steel, so those coins are attracted to a magnet but earlier issues aren't British pennies have been issued in both bronze and copper-plated steel so depending on the year of issue they may or may not be attracted. In some years both compositions were used, which makes things a bit more confusing. Euro cents are all made of copper-plated steel so they too are attracted.

Can a magnet pick up coins?
The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
