False.

Only certain metals are strongly attracted to magnets — chiefly ferromagnetic ones (iron, nickel, cobalt and some of their alloys). Many common metals (aluminum, copper, gold, many stainless steels) are not attracted; some materials are only weakly attracted (paramagnetic) or weakly repelled (diamagnetic) and require very strong fields to notice.
