Can you DoN a Curse in play that is being used as an artifact?

Destruction of Nehushtan (Pa)
Type: Grim Reaper • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Discard one active Artifact in play. Artifact's ability is negated. • Play As: Negate and discard an activated Artifact in play. • Identifiers: False Religious Practice • Verse: II Kings 18:4 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Ultra Rare)

Yes. Covenants and Curses active as Artifacts are treated as exactly that: Artifacts. They can thus be targeted/affected by abilities that specify Artifacts, and also by cards that specify Covenants/Curses (whichever they are). Covenants/Curses played as Enhancements, on the other hand, can instead be targeted as Covenants/Curses or Enhancements.

Can a curse in hand be discarded as an enhancement?

Can a curse in hand be discarded as an enhancement?

Yes if its owner is Discarding it to fulfill a cost. No of its opponent is targeting something in hand. In other words, you could Discard GiC from hand to meet Zimri's or Uzzah's requirement, but an opponent could not steal it with Taking Egypt's Wealth.
