Tin foil in contact with copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) solution may ignite or give sparks (Ellern, H. 1968, Military and Civilian Pyrotechnics, New York, Chemical Publishing Co., p. 46).
Copper reacts with cold ammonium nitrate solution, producing toxic nitric oxide gas (Mellor, J.W. 1923. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 3, p. 89. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Copper is attacked by nitrates and nitrites (Kundig, K. J. A. and Dresher, W. H. 2010. Copper. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 1-50. (Online)).
