Well, are any of the other 1998 dimes in your pocket very shiny* and magnetic? I'm willing to say not.
There are at least 2 possibilities:
> It's a fantasy piece someone made out of steel or similar metal. In that case it's worth nothing.
> It's an off-metal strike that happened when a blank intended for a similar-size foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with normal dime blanks. That's a true mint error and can be worth something.
Unfortunately the only way to tell would be to have the coin examined in person by a dealer who handles error coins.
(*) That's one 'n', not two. "Shinny" means to climb up something in a wiggling fashion.
Zinc is found with copper and is also found with gold and nickel.
There are only three metals which are commonly found in their pure state - meteoric iron, gold and copper. Of these, copper is the most easily usable for tools and weapons. Discovery of copper may have occurred more than 10,000 years ago, probably in the Middle East.
These alternating parallel bands of normal and reversed magnetic polarity are found in the basaltic bedrock on either side of mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading. This pattern is a result of the Earth's magnetic field periodically reversing over geological timescales, leaving a record of these reversals in the oceanic crust as it solidifies.
No, scheelite is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic mineral that is commonly found as a tungsten ore.
Copper
Azurite is one of the two copper carbonate minerals found in nature (the other is malachite). It is found in a hydrated form. It would be remarkable if it possessed any magnetic properties, lacking as it does any of the ferro atoms.
It is a solid found as the ore cobaltite and most abundantly in veins of copper and nickel ore.

Some common compounds in which copper is found include copper sulfate, copper oxide, copper carbonate, and copper hydroxide. Copper is also commonly found as a component in minerals like chalcopyrite and malachite.
copper and tin
a copper ore
The extra metals found in copper which is known as copper oxide is known as copper ores.its found by electro plating process
Copper is found as Copper ore in rocks. Incorrect! Co is the symbol for cobalt, not copper. Copper is Cu. The greatest reserves of cobalt is found in Africa, mostly Zambia and The Congo. The form found is in various ores such as cobaltite.
Copper Belt
Yes, copper can be found uncombined in its pure form in nature. This is known as native copper and is commonly found in regions where copper deposits have formed, such as in certain sedimentary rocks.
According to my chemistry book it's copper carbonate.
