Are you talking about Canadian silver change in composition around 1967-68? I'm not an expert by any means, but I remember this topic being discussed before. I'll see if I can find the link.

Silver coins (Canadian or otherwise) are not magnetic. Non-silver canadian dimes and quarters whether they are nickel (pre-2000) or steel (2000 and later) are both attracted to magnets.

Don't believe everything you read on the interwebs.
