does it have a reaction?

Copper does not react with HCl because HCl is not an oxidising acid.
It does react, though, if mixed with conc HCl and CuCl2 in a reverse disproportionation reaction, eventually forming CuCl, copper(I) chloride.

No reaction as copper is not high enough in the electro chemical series to displace hydrogen from HCl

No reaction - even with hot, concentrated HCl.

No.copper is less reactive than hydrogen so it can't displace hydrogen from its salts.but:-
CuO +2HCl= Cu Cl2 =H2O

No... Reaction does not occur under standard conditions... probably doesnt occur under any conditions :)

Whats Cu?

Cu + 2HCl -> CuCl2 + H2

no reaction...refer back d reactivity series of metal...the hydrogen,H+ is more electropositive(reactive) than Cu2+,copper...so there is NO REACTION...
