due to the price of bronze all our coppers are now plated steel

Bronze (97% copper, 2.5% zinc, 0.5% tin) - until September 1992
Copper-plated steel - since September 1992, except in 1998 when the 2p was made in both alloys. - The Royal Mint

Sounds sad but the next time I get my magnet out I'm going to look for a 2p coin.

Apparently, the new stronger magnets have no problem in picking up copper...
