Final Answer:
Not all metals are attracted to magnets. Only iron, nickel, and cobalt (and some of their alloys, like steel) are magnetic. Copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel (most types) are not attracted to magnets. Coins made of penny (mostly zinc), nickel (contains nickel metal), dime, and quarter (copper-nickel alloy) — only the nickel coin is strongly attracted; others are not (though very weak attraction may occur in some cases, it’s generally considered “no” for this level). So the correct conclusion is:
Only some metals — like iron, nickel, and cobalt — are magnetic.
