This number would be much greater today, it's just that this was the most recent source I could find.
In addition to the Copts in Egypt there are another 1.2 million of them who practise the Coptic faith throughout churches around the world. Countries which have Coptic communities are, United States of America, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Holland, Brazil and plenty other countries in Africa and Asia.

Australia.
In Australia and the Pacific there are two Coptic Orthodox Dioceses. .
The first, whose headquarters is located in Sydney, is in charge of New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
The second, whose headquarters is in the local Donvale, the outer suburb of Melbourne, is the largest Coptic Diocese in terms of geography as it accounts for Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and New Zealand.
The Coptic Diocese of Melbourne and Affiliated Regions was established on the 4th of December 1999 and has eight churches in actual Melbourne. Below is a list of the churches their location, and the priest in residence.
Anba Bishoy & Anba Shenouda v/s Bulleen (Fr. Mina Michael Issac).
Archangel Michael & St. Anthony v/s Oakeleigh (Fr. Mina Rizkalla).
St. Anthony's Monastery v/s Heathcote (Fr. Titus El-Baramousy).
Diocese of Melbourne Headquarters - St. Athanasius Church v/s Donvale .
St. George v/s St Albans (Fr. Thomas Adelmalik).
St. Mark v/s Preston (Fr. Victor Rophael).
St. Mary - Kenaington (Fr. Tadros Sharobeam).
St. Mina & St. Marina v/s Hallam (Fr. Abanoub Attalla & Fr. Isaac Al-Antouny).
With eight out of the fifteen Coptic Churches in this Diocese it is easy to see why the headquarters is in Melbourne.
Feast Days and Holy Days.
Finding feast days and Holy Days was quite hard, as there are specific feast days celebrated by the Coptic Church, yet there are also feast days celebrated by all the Eastern Churches, this includes Greek, Russian and Ukraine Orthodox Churches as well.
