ND... the metals are in a beaker. the copper wouldn't corrode.
If the beaker is just water, and they are far apart, they would both corrode separately (as water isn't a good conductor). But if they are touching, the copper would still corrode but it is quickly reduced by the electrons from the oxidation of the iron, which is why it doesn't really corrode (if you understand what i mean). Some of teh electrons go into reducing the copper back, some go into reducing the water.
