If I'm not afraid to squeeze a buffalo, then I'm certainly not afraid to squeeze a beaver. The same messy "stuff" comes out both ends.

Cocktail party information: The U.S. nickel coin is not magnetic, because it actually is mostly (75%) copper. The Canadian nickel minted at various periods up to 1981 was 99.9% nickel, and were magnetic. Go ahead, get a magnet, and try it. The Canadian nickel has to be minted before 1981.
