Yes mate, I was bored.
I had a magnet in close proximity to a two pence piece and was quite surprised when I found it was magnetic when another one wasn't. I thought at first it was a fake so that's why I looked it up.

Did you also know, America is facing a shortage of one cent coins, since the price of copper has exceeded their face value as a coin. So people are hoarding them to scrap them.
