Ferromagnetic coins - 1,000 Rupiah

[Silverlocks]

Not something you see everyday - ferromagnetic coins.  I think these are made from nickel plated steel.  1 Dirham coins from Dubai are made of the same material, but mine have gone awol.  These are worth about 6p each.

Have you tried testing your UK 1 and 2 pence coins?

Well, bugger me.  According to the interwebs they're copper plated steel now.

One interesting thing about information...

Seek and ye shall find!

As for the invitation, I would prefer to decline, thanks.

Nothing personal you understand!

And UK 5p and 10p coins are also made of nickel plated steel (2011 onwards).
