    Isn’t this basically what happens in that x-men movie when magneto breaks out of prison?

    Pretty sure most coins aren’t magnetic so the reaction would be much more underwhelming than shown here, the coins on their own though would very likely obstruct your intestines.

      Nickel is magnetic and makes up a portion of US coinage. Coins are affected by magnets. Pennies are copper wrapped zinc tho.

      Think they’ll still heat up from eddy currents and feel a force from the changing magnetic field?
