they have an iron/steel core then platted , that's why your machine rejects them , unless you run in all metal of course  ;)

i have a goldmaxx power which picks up these coins yet i dont find any iron?i guess the plating must overide the core.

Im pretty sure the older ones are cupro-nickel so the machines will pick them up and the newer type as Mike said has the steel core ;)

The new ones rust like anything. Mind you I still don't think anyone will be collecting them as they are miserable specimens of coinage - look at how cheap and uncollectable all that French aluminium coinage from just after the war is......
