Look into "Magnetic Sheet" products.  You might want to sandwich that 
material within your tiles, then use standard metalic circles for 
coins.  Or, if you find magnetic sheeting that can be easily cut or 
punched, you could affix that to the bottom of pawns and to both 
sides of a coin.

Disclaimer: I've never bought or worked with the stuff myself, so I 
don't know how practical or costly it would be.
