Copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series. This means that copper is less reactive than hydrogen and hence cannot displace it from the acidic solution. However, copper only reacts with strong oxidizing acids such as nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid(note; it does not react with dilute sulfuric acid as well)
