Those dated 1999-2010 often come in both magnetic and non-magnetic form. Those before 1999 are all non-magnetic. Look at 1945V's post above for a quick breakdown.

1945V, I can confirm the non-magnetic 2010 cents do exist as I have 2 of them.
"2010 The jury is out on this one, but some reports of non-magnetic pennies exist."

Re: non magnetic 2009 penny
I got 15 rolls from the bank yesterday. One roll was see-through plastic and appeared to be machine finished. It had old and new coins. Where do such rolls come from? Anyway, I opened that roll first and found 6 non magnetic 2009 pennies. The other rolls had 46 pennies, all were 2009 magnetized. I found this very interesting but confusing. I am a newbie. If I get more rolls and I will, I'll be asking for those clear plastic rolls.
Gerry.

Well, I just ran a large magnet through approx 1000 cents, and I found 6 2009 Non magnetic.
Im thinking this thing isn't as rare as one would hope.

Quote:"***these were minted for a very short time"How does this guy know?Where did he get his info. from?  (Response to TheForce.)So far I am gathering they are somewhat(but maybe not very) common! |

In defense of the guy who said the minting window was short, we can infer this from the fact that they were not noticed until late in 2009 -- indeed not really until 2010. I, for one, checked the first n 2009 pennies I saw earlier in the year with a magnet.
I seem to remember the 2006-L zinc showing up reasonably late as well. (Not this late, but they certainly appeared to come out in a "batch".)
But yes, we can't know for sure when the minting happened. The 2010 annual report may show 2009-dated cents with CPZ composition, in which case we'll know more.

Hey - I'm reviving (i.e. bumping - haha) this topic in frustration because I just searched nearly 150 x 2009 cents and they were all magnetic! Grrr...
Is the consensus still that the zinc ones are reasonably common? I hope so!

Every 2009RCM penny I have seen in Canada so far was magnetic (i.e. steel planchet).
Yesterday, when I picked a $25.00 box of American pennies in Northern New York, I found some Canadian coins in the mix. The 2009RCM I pulled out was "non-magnetic". It is my first and only non-magnetic 2009 so far.
