It depends on what you mean by copper. If the coin weighs as much as and is as thick as a normal quarter, what you have is probably a plated coin from a high-school chemistry experiment (I know, I used to do that!). In this case it is considered to be an altered coin worth face value only.
On the other hand, if it's thinner than a normal quarter you could have what's called a lamination error. That happens when the outer cupronickel cladding comes apart from the pure copper core. You'd have to take it to a dealer who handles error coins to have it evaluated, but it could be worth $15 or so.
A lamination error may not be noticably lighter or thinner than a normal quarter. Let an experienced dealer look at it.

What is a Colorado state quarter 2006P with no copper worth?
The 2006 quarter is composed of a core of pure copper with outer layers of copper-nickel. If there was truly no copper then there would be no coin. If the usual copper line is missing from the edge of the quarter it is not because there is no copper in it but because as the blank quarter was stamped out of the sheet of metal, the outer layers containing the nickel were "smeared" over the edge of the blank quarter by the cutting die and concealing the customary copper band. Scraping the edge of the coin would reveal the copper.

A quarther used to have 25 cents worth of copper in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off?
A quarter never had 25 cents worth of copper in it. Quarters used to be made of roughly 25 cents worth of silver, but are now made of mostly copper due to cost reasons. The fact remains that a quarter is still worth 25 cents, and if you should so wish you could go and buy 25 cents worth of copper with it (a little more than two ounces of copper). Sorry I ment to say a quarter used to have 25 cents worth of silver in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off? I will reenter the question. Thanks.

It's worth a quarter because we trust the economy and believe it to be a quarter. Although the physical value is not worth a quarter, it's still worth a quarter. So no you're not getting ripped off.
