On average there are between 50 and 120 mg of copper in the body.

Too much copper is not good for you. If you are double jointed or you can do a back bend you have too much copper in your body. But if you take gymnastics or something like that then your fine but almost everyone has too much copper in their bodies. If you look on the back of the food package it says how much copper there is. 2% is okay but if there's 15% then that's too much.

Is there copper in blood?

Copper, and other metals are often used sparingly by the body in the formation of certain enzymes and protein structures.
