All i can smell is copper, why?

For the past two weeks all i can smell is copper. If i rub my nose, sneeze, or anything to my nose, all i can smell is copper. Like i've got a bag of pennies attached to my nose. why is this?

Thanks for all the fish!

In conditions called parosmia and phantosmia , people smell odors that aren't there.  (Apparently, parosmia means that one odor is perceived as another odor.  Phantosmia seems to be where a person smells an odor even though there's nothing to smell.)  I'm not a doctor, but I think it makes sense to check with a primary care physician or an ear-nose-and-throat specialist.  You could also look at this Yahoo health group .
