There are two methods to own Lure Modules in the game:

Purchase from the in-game store — costing 180 Poke Coins each.
Complete occasional Special and Timed Research tasks that offer the item.

In brief, you can buy a Magnetic Lure Module for 180 Poke Coins from the in-game shop. The shop also lets you purchase a Glacial Module, Mossy Module, or Rainy Module with the same amount of Poke Coins.

On the other hand, you can also get it from Special or Timed Research tasks, as during Max Out, the Magnetic Study event encouraged Trainers to complete the Magnetic Study Timed Research story to get a Magnetic Lure Module.

When a Pokemon defends a Gym for an entire day, it returns to the trainer with 50 Poke Coins. This means if you drop defenders like Blissey, Metagross, Snorlax, Drifblim, Togekiss, and Milotic in different Gyms and they stay in there for a day, you can collect enough coin items to get free Magnetic Lure Modules in Pokemon GO.
