I was answering a post on a thread on 2003 Canada cents why some are Magnetic and some are not. When I was looking at http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=1-cent-2003&years=1-cent-1965-2012 it list the 2003 WP as --
Caracteristics - 1 cent 2003 - WP

Alloy : 100% copper-plated zinc
Weight : 2.25 grams
Diameter : 19.05 mm, thickness: 1.45 mm
Engraver : Obverse: Susanna Blunt, Susan Taylor, Reverse: G.E.Kruger-Gray
Designer : Obverse: Susanna Blunt, Susan Taylor, Reverse: G.E.Kruger-Gray
Edge : Smooth
Magnetism: Nonmagnetic
Die axis : ↑↑

And Wikipedia states--
W/P – Used on the special edition uncirculated set of 2003. The W mint mark indicates that the coin was produced in Winnipeg and the P indicates that the coins are plated.



And we got are magnet out on the one we have and it is steel. So I sent Coins and Canada an Email. Without this group and my son I would have not seen this. Talk about fun. :D And we are Yanks.
