This coin is shown to be “copper nickel clad nickel”, but it sticks to a magnet.

Why?
Because nickel is highly magnetic.

Indeed they are out of Magnimat, 7% by mass pure nickel core with a Cu-Ni layers rolled onto on each side which is enough to make it attracted to a magnet.

Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!

The nickel-copper alloys used for coins is 70% Cu / 30% Ni. It is non-magnetic and as you learned in one of your prior posts has a greyish color.
If it where a homogenous Cu-Ni alloy you would need at least 56 percent nickel before the alloy shows any ferromagnetic properties at ordinary temperatures.
