In the year 1616, when British people had establish east India company, there was a very long solar eclipse, During that period the Indian saints had discovered a rare element Iridium, which was believed to have no-corrosion properties, it is believed that these pieces of iridium came from mateiors falling on the earth,

Generally meteior burn off due to air friction when they enter the earths atmosphere. but iridium having a very high melting point survived all the heat and finally fall on earth. Iridium is a very very rare and costly metal.

In those days, when the british government came to knew about these metal, they decided to mix it with copper to make non-corrosive currency and utensils.

It was later found that the compound copper iridium had magical properties like pulling a rice coin , affecting electronic equipment in its vicinity and so on.

It cannot without radioactive decay, and it is impractical to imagine copper (element 29) undergoing enough positron emissions to become iridium (element 77). There is no chemistry which can possibly turn copper into iridium, and no known physics either.

Does the copper kept buried for more than 100 years turn to copper iridium?

No, how can it? One type of atom doesn't spontaneously convert to another type of atom, except under conditions of great heat (as in the interior of stars), or in cases of radioactive decay. Iridium is a different element - a different type of atom. If no iridium was present at the start, none will appear.
