A magnet will tell the difference if the coin is fake or not because is a coin is real it will stick and be magnetised to the magnet. If the coin is fake it will not stick, it will not magnetise, it means thay its fake.

Answer:

First off, grab a simple magnet and hold it near your precious metal coin. If the coin is even slightly attracted to the magnet, then you know you have a fake on your hand, as metals with contents of iron and steel are the most likely to be attracted
