Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
PZT (lead zirconate titanate) is a piezoelectric material. When a voltage is applied, it deforms, and vice versa. It's unlikely that PZT coatings on copper coins would create a strong enough magnetic field to repel a needle. The effect would likely be too weak and localized. The mechanism of magnetic repulsion would also be unrelated to the piezoelectric properties of PZT. It's important to remember that magnetic forces require the interaction between magnetic dipoles, which PZT would not generate.
