:: Gold and Copper Coins ::

There are 10 open boxes containg 100 coins each. In 9 of these boxes the coins are made of gold, and in the other the coins are made of copper. You are given a large digital balance which can be used once only. Can you identify the box containg copper coins knowing the weight of both gold and copper coins?
