PISO sticking to a magnet Equals Fake?

Bumili ako ng magnetic money clip sa trip ko sa Indonesia and Malaysia. Pagdating ko sa manila e nagulat ako baket nagdikitan yung mga piso ko and mga .25 cents ko sa money clip ko and then natandaan ko sa news before na kapag namamagnet daw ang 5peso and 10peso coin e "FAKE" daw yun. Is this holds true for 1 peso ans .25 cents as well? Nagresearch ako sa internet and mixed ang infos na nakuha ko. Meron nagsabi na fake daw meron nagsabi na hindi naman daw. I asked our bank manager about it and she first told me that is a fake when it sticks to a magnet, and after 5 mins texted me again and told me that according to her research there is still no fake 1peso or .25cents floating around the market according to BSP. Ako naconvince na ako pro si misis e ayaw pa rin maniwala. Fake daw yun. So ill just post pics here and you be the judge....



Here is a video if it as well:




Here is a picture of a "Real" (demagnetize) on the left and the suspected "Fake" (magnetize) on the right, see any difference?


Check your coins stash and im sure you will have a few suspected "fake" 1 peso coin.

Meanwhile ill do some research and post again soon.


UPDATE: Called up BSP cabanatuan branch and they told me that THERE IS NO FAKE 1PESO COIN. So baka nagtipid lang sila and may kasama ng metal ang composition ng bagong piso natin.
