Default Steel coppers

I carry a magnet with me. I noticed yesterday that new 1p and 2p
pieces stuck to the magnet like poo-poo to a blanket. A friend of mine
whose name is Mr Wonderful told me that coppers have been made of
steel since 1986!
I told him that he was full of the stuff that sticks to blankets the
same way that pennies stick to magnets. Who is right?
