Both gold and silver are diamagnetic, meaning they have a weak, negative (opposite) susceptibility to magnetic fields.

Silver and gold both resist passing through a magnetic field.
You can rub a small Neodymium magnet across a gold or silver coin and feel the drag.

If you want to know if your silver/gold coins are fake...A magnet will stick to them.
