    I’m not even mad. I’m impressed.

    What? Canada has coins made from magnetic metal?

      I think the older coins were. I don’t think the newer coins are.

      I don’t have a magnet around but I’ll be testing it later.

        It looks like loonies and toonies are, at least the outside ring of the toonie. And Canadian dimes are, although American ones aren’t.
