For the same reason that substances like steel are not considered to be minerals. Brass is an alloy of other metals and has to be deliberately created. It's made of other metals, which are not actually minerals themselves either.

A mineral can be scratched by a brass washer but cannot be scratched by a copper coin.is a test of what?

This scenario tests the hardness of the mineral using the Mohs scale of hardness. Since the mineral can be scratched by a brass washer but not by a copper coin, it indicates that the mineral has a hardness greater than that of copper (which has a Mohs hardness of 3) but less than that of brass, which typically has a hardness around 3 to 4. This allows for an assessment of the mineral's relative hardness compared to common materials.
