Best Answer

Gold has a gold color, is softer ( try scratching it in a unobtrusive place), and it is NOT magnetic. Copper is very hard, has a bronze color, and at least has a weak magnetic field. Copper is also less dense that gold and is a better conductor of heat and electricity. Copper will tarnish over time while gold will never tarnish.
